Movement #5 is a matter of the heart, like every movement of The Twelve Movements of a Man’s Life. 

 

When a man walks in the dirt daily:

  1. He faces that he does not have control of life, and he cannot see the future; even so, he bravely walks into doing his duty/calling one day at a time. 
  2. If he has a vision of love and care for the people he offers himself to, he will go face the daily struggles of not having control; he knows that he is in charge of dealing with life on life’s terms. 
  3. He maintains and sustains an attitude of courage that requires humility, or healthy shame. He must need others and God.

    4.  

    Philosophy meets real life in tangible ways:

    • Care and Courage: For a man to “walk daily in the dirt,” he must bring care and courage to daily life and expresses what matters to him. 
    • Tangible Action: His philosophy, character, ideas and ideals must have tangible action to be real and true. 
    • Consistently Does: He consistently does what he claims matters to him.

      •  

      Basically and practically, he takes care of business one step at a time:

      1. He gets sweaty and tired, through action of output.
      2. He grasps that passion means a willingness to be in pain for what matters.
      3. He knows that if he pours out, he must re-fill and replenish, to keep going.
      4. He takes responsibility for his self-care, to be able to continue to care.

        5.  

        Without passion, a person cannot truly be successful. It is essential.

        It means that you are able to feel, care, and ask for help.

         

        Healthy Shame means that you show up daily to do your duty/calling. This requires the help of others. Every man needs the support, wisdom, care, and encouragement of other men. And, of course, a man needs God.

        We have Healthy Shame when we become aware that we don’t have all the answers and need the help of others. Humility is an outcome of Healthy Shame. (Episodes #19 and Episode #20).
