David Leffel said three things to me that have stayed in my mind related to this topic. These are paraphrases as it has been a while:
1- "Looking at the history of art, there were so many talented people, so I knew that if they could do it, I could do it."
2- "I try to learn from each painting and to continually create a better painting than the one that I had just finished. This way I grow over the dead bodies of my past paintings.
3- "It's not that difficult, once you learn how to do it, you'll see it's not that difficult. You've just got to learn how to do it."
Finally to quote Winston Churchill, "Never, never, never give up."
