COT: YHC shared a favorite Clint Eastwood quote of his:

Respect your efforts, and respect yourself
Self-respect leads to self-discipline
When you have both under your belt
That’s real power

Note the chain of causality. Self-discipline is a product of self-respect, which is a product of respecting your efforts. Whatever effort you’re making, even if you only got 1 thing right and 99 things wrong today, respect that effort.

YHC then related this to some stuff going on in his life. IYKYK.

The strength from within. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are” is a well-known quote attributed to Theodore Roosevelt.
“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.” – Colossians 3:23 As men we have to fight passivity and overcome fear to fail.
Don’t wait for the perfect moment or having all the resources before pursuing your life goals.
Cameroon project started as a desire to build a school. But we are having a chicken farm.
The chicken farm was destined for students but we are having children from various backgrounds.
