press on
Continue despite obstacles
Press on means to continue despite difficulty or opposition, to push forward with determination.
It carries a sense of perseverance through obstacles: We decided to press on despite the storm.
The phrase suggests steady forward motion rather than dramatic breakthrough—you press on when giving up would be easier but isn't an option.
