Grow a pair/put on your big girl panties should totally apply to games. Some of the most fun I've had in video games is when things get messy and hard. Always smooth cake walks get boring after a while. Mind you I don't like not being able to finish something anymore than anyone else. But the number of times I've had to completely abandon things in my long time gaming is pretty small. Sometimes you just gotta reorganize and try a different strategy!
