How to Press Forward

We were talking the other day about looking "forward" and moving on from the past, and how it is important to keep developing your testimony and creating new spiritual experiences as opposed to just relying on old ones.  This article was on the main page of LDS.org today and made me think of it:

How to Press Forward by Elder Anderson
Press forward implies something more than simply going forward. Press implies something is preventing your advancement, and you must push through it. To go forward in this life, you must press temptations aside, press through obstacles, press the doubt and the fear under your feet, and embrace the divine qualities of faith, hope,and love.
And a scripture that goes along with the concept of being guided by the Holy Ghost as we press forward:

2 Nephi 32:5
For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do.
