"one foot in front of the other"

I figured it out. I figured out where the evidence was lacking. I was looking backward.

I have to look forward. It's an idea I teach my students, to stop looking inward but to instead help someone else. It can be a friend, charity, psychologically speaking it doesn't matter, helping others makes one feel better.

I didn't plan on helping out, but I ended up doing so and hey, I feel better. So I guess I just have to figure this out one step at a time, reaching out to others in the process. ('Cause it's just that easy.)
