Being a Healthy Man Part 2: The Heart and the Mind - Richard E. Simmons III

What has more power over you - your mind or your heart? Which one rules over you?

The heart can easily overcome or override what you know. The heart is the seat of the emotions and has the ability to take charge of your thinking.

Last week we looked at the foundational principles to living a healthy life:
- Being transparent
- Dealing with the past
- Dealing with the future
- Emotional health

We concluded that to truly live well is to live in the present.

In Part 2 we are looking at the heart and the mind, the innermost parts of a man.

The heart is made up of the mind, the will and the emotions. And the soul is the mind and the heart of a man.

To have a healthy heart, we have to be proactive, and we have to be defensive. It is up to each of us to protect our own hearts and minds.
