For years, mine has been the Buddhist quote, "fall down seven times, get up eight".
I'm phasing this out now, although it has served me well. I used to "fall down" much more often, and even though I expect to continue, to a certain degree, I don't need to invoke it, do I?
For now: All change comes to me with greater ease and more consciousness. (Which is more of an incantation than a motto, but it works.)
