Doesn’t have to be a life motto. Any motto, for any application.

Mine is: “Fear is shorter than regret.”

Remember you will die. Not as a fear but simply as a reminder.

If you can’t control it, don’t worry about it.

Used to mostly keep me sane at work

If you can’t do something about a problem, worrying just gives you another problem. If you can do something about it, don’t waste energy worrying about it, just do the thing

Batman in an interrogation room pins joker to the wall.

Batman: “I’ve only got one rule”

Joker: “Then that’s the rule you’re gonna have to break to get what you want”.

Now I hate Marvell and all super hero movies but I do find that quote applies to a lot of things.

If you’re truthful or law abiding then law breakers have an advantage on you. They’ll try and undermine free and fair elections.

If you’re a pacifist then people will use violence to try and control you, such as terrorism, or simply ignore your laws.

If you have socialism then people will pour in from other countries or try to exploit the system in whatever they can.

If the police or strict or lax in either direction it causes upset.

Whatever you say is a law, or a line you won’t cross, is something that people will exploit.

Follow a Ramadan or Lent fast and take as much a break from electronics as possible especially around bedtime.
