I can't say that I have a mantra per se but I use this one frequently when trying to give advice:
Only Forward
I suppose it means a lot things (which is what is great about a really good saying -- that it can be interpreted to serve different situations) but to me it simply means as long as you are making progress you are good to go. Going backwards or sitting still is not advantageous when trying to get somewhere.
