I have a mantra: "Any progress is better than no progress."
Another one is: "If you don't try it, there's a 0 chance of success. If you do try it, there's a 50% chance of success."
Bravery isn't doing things without fear. Bravery is stepping forward despite your fear.
"Let go and let God" is another one I like, that I picked up from AA (no, I am not a recovering addict, but I still find much of their material useful)
"Fake it until you make it" (another AA mantra)
"Never give up; never surrender!"
