Another favorite from the 11th step prayer:

For it is by forgetting self that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.

I have two:

  1. Progress, NOT PERFECTION!

  2. As long as I'm still breathing, I got a shot at living a better life. (This one is actually my personal day to day mantra that I've made up myself.)
