One my Mom used to say, I don't know where she got it from but, it seemed to help motivate me at times. She said;

"Can't is a coward and too lazy to try!"

It took me a couple of times to say it in my head to really understand what she meant but, when I figured it out, it made alot of sense. Essentially it means, don't just say that you can't do something because you're too fearful of failure or just too lazy to even attempt to do something new. I ended up actually liking her little quote! Good job Mom! :D

God grant me
the strength
to change the things I can,
the serenity
to accept the things I can't,
And the wisdom
to know the difference.

Here is my version.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

It's been working for me since 1987.
