i dont really have a particular mantra.
in some situations, i use the same one shani uses: the worst they can say is no.
but usually, mine is:
keep going.
the self-doubt/self-pity version comes from beckett: i can't go on. i'll go on.
protect what matters to you.
do that, what matters to you.
keep doing it.
you have no idea how far you can go.
and there's nothing but the going.
