    I can't seem to put my finger on it, the only phrase I can recall is from One Piece

    Live With Don

    Yeah, consuming too much Asian media has made my English suffer. I probably should go back to Hollywood, even Bollywood

    Basically, I want to find according way to say
    Facing Failure With a Smile

    I guess I should say replace Living Without Fear with a different phrase not just one word.

    So maybe

    Living Fearlessly

    But it doesn't pack enough punch
    Not enough bite to it

    Also resilient might be what you want. I'm not too sure. Maybe trooper.

    How about unshakable, true it is not a synonym but I beleive it is the colsest in meaning to Live With Don or Facing Failure With a Smile, for example: living with an unshakable resolution or to make it shorter, my resolution is unshakable

    Depends on what exactly you mean with fearless.
    Not afraid because they know there's nothing to threaten them.
    Not afraid because they know their sacrifice will mean another ally survives.
    Not afraid because they know what awaits them after death.
    Not afraid because they know their families will be taken care of.
    Not afraid because fear as an emotion has been trained out of them.
    Not afraid because fuck it, so what if they die.
    etc.
    Reasons not to be afraid can be many, which ones are most relevant?

    To better clarify, it appears you're looking for a first-person exclamation as opposed to a third-person adjective?

    Thinking, but not gonna lie, thinking of good expressions without really knowing a scene is fairly difficult.
