I need a higher standard than that, you know, it's a slippery slope once you start forgiving yourself for things that go against your moral code.

He emphasizes the importance of maintaining self-esteem and dignity, warning against the slippery slope of forgiving oneself too easily for actions that go against one’s moral code.
Throughout the episode, Nelson blends humor with heartfelt advice, urging listeners to set high standards in all areas of life. He shares personal anecdotes and practical tips on how to stay motivated, even when faced with grumpy teenagers or other daily challenges.
