Self motivation in a bear market

I am down nearly 5 percent on my recent buy of UOB at $21.2. Til today I loss around $102.
I still have the mindset of a typical investor of hoping the market to be green everyday and I am earning both capital gains and dividends. However, this is impossible.

To self motivate myself I always recalled this ancient chinese saying:
“ 天行健，君子以自强不息
地势坤，君子以厚德载物”

Explanation in chinese:
君子应该像天体一样运行不息；如果你是君子，度量要像大地一样，没有任何东西不能包容。

Simple translation in English will be:
As a gentleman we should continue to persevere and work hard just like the heaven/sky and we should be as magnanimous as the earth as earth can contains everything

I decided that I would like to save and invest a large portion of the money and live frugally like how I was during my poly time. My goal is to accumulate 50k net worth by ord. Today as of 26/07/2022, my net worth finally hit 50k. I save and invest around 1k per month since I enlisted, for the past few months my net worth has been quite stagnant due to the correction in the market. However, these few days the markets bounced back and right now with the paper profit I hit 50k. Of course, paper profits fluctuate a lot. It might be a short-term thing. What is more certain is my dividends, my dividends from stocks rise from $37 in 2019 to at least 1.2k in 2022(...
