I've stopped looking at how high the wall is and started extending my ladder. I've stopped worrying about what the next obstacle looks like and started looking for ways around it. I've stopped caring about what the majority is saying and started mimicking what the most successful are doing.
A friend told me architecture isn't about problems, it's about solutions, and I make it my responsibility to find them.
