If you were to describe what it means to be a man in one word, what would it be and why?

"It takes time and commitment to discover the point when something is seasoned, weathered, and to know that what was envisioned is now viable even if the result is different than planned. Maturity is the result of dedication to keep moving, growing, and progressing with purpose, but not with the goal of finishing. Maturity never boasts, it merely rises above the rest in a graceful display of faithfulness and persistence."
