push on

Continue despite difficulties

Push on means to continue despite difficulty or fatigue, pressing forward rather than stopping: We decided to push on through the storm.

It suggests determination in the face of obstacles or weariness.

You might push on with a project, push on toward a destination, or simply push on when you'd rather quit.
