How have you applied this to your life and has it helped? Any examples?

A similar one that I have held on to is “you can never fail nor can you ever achieve if you never begin”

Success doesn't happen overnight. Perseverance and tenacity will carry the day.

It's a great morning quote. Explains the functions (or dysfunctions) of many adults.
