Living with Heart: From Birth to Death Podcast, Episode 60: 12 Movements of a Man's Life #10: A Man Keeps No Secrets

A Man Remembers How He is Made:

A man needs to admit every day, with deep awareness, that he is not God, and is created by God. He did not create himself. He was created.

An inspired man, versus just one who is ambitious, knows that he is in service of something greater than himself, a mission that his heart is “called” to.

A man humbly faces his need of God, and he does not attempt to take credit for what he did not create.

A man faces and struggles with being a work in progress by admitting and struggling to accept that “clumsy is as good as we are ever going to become.” 

The Twelve Movements of a Man’s Life are about a way of living with daily routines over a lifetime. They are about bringing your heart, head, hands, and habits to your relationships and life. We build a lasting legacy one day at a time and one step at a time.
