Keep going when going gets tough

Every small move matters and is the way out of the tough situation. If you stop moving you are stuck. When you are in the middle of the forest instead of returning back move forward, both have the same distance but one will lead you to the destination and other will bring back to the same point with the same amount of hard work.
