How to reword these two sentences?
As a result I developed my own motivational mantra against these skeptics, ‘I will bypass you’. Proving them wrong also became an irresistible challenge.
Initially, I had these two sentences combined but I felt it wasn't flowing. Are these two sentences grammatically correct?

e. " ... ".
- e.
- " ...
- ".
- If you write two separate sentences, I would remove also from the second sentence; the two sentences stand alone.
- I also changed the punctuation character after skeptics from a comma to a colon.

If your question is whether or not to combine the two sentences using and, I think it's a matter of personal preference, but if you use and, you should put a comma before it, i.e. " ... against these skeptics: 'I will bypass you', and proving them ...". If you write two separate sentences, I would remove also from the second sentence; the two sentences stand alone.
