Whatever it is, it's a good indication of what you're made of.

but with what it is still possible for you to do.
- Pope John XXIII

Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more
than when we have nothing and want some.
We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than
when we seem to lack but one thing.
- Eric Hoffer

Act as if it were impossible to fail.

Cook a healthy meal even when you are tired.
Walk or exercise even when the thought doesn't excite you.
