Moving forward is a choice from "summary" of Wild (Oprah's Book Club 2.0 Digital Edition) by Cheryl Strayed
The decision to keep moving forward is a choice we have to make in the face of adversity. It may seem like the easier option to stay still, to remain stagnant, to wallow in self-pity or despair. But the reality is that life doesn't wait for us to catch up. Time doesn't stop for our grief or our pain. We have to make a conscious effort to push forward, to take that next step, even when every fiber of our being wants to give up. In Cheryl Strayed's journey on the Pacific Crest Trail, she learned the importance of choosing to move forward, even when the path ahead seemed impossible. She faced countless obstacles, both physical and emotional, that could have easily derailed her progress. But she made the decision, every single day, to keep going. To put one foot in front of the other, even when her body screamed in protest, even when her mind told her she couldn't go on. This concept of moving forward as a choice is not just applicable to hiking a trail or overcoming a personal tragedy. It is a universal truth that we all have to come to terms with at some point in our lives. Whether we are facing a difficult decision, a challenging relationship, a career setback, or any other type of obstacle, we have to make the conscious choice to keep moving forward.- It is often the hardest thing we will ever have to do. But it is also the most rewarding. Because when we choose to move forward, we are choosing growth, resilience, and strength. We are choosing to believe in ourselves and our ability to overcome whatever stands in our way. And in the end, that choice is what ultimately leads us to a place of healing, of transformation, of redemption.
