Welcome to davidscotts.blog.
If you haven’t figured out yet, I’m David, but a lot of my friends call me “Dave”.
I’ve been married to my wife for 34 years now.
I have five sons, aged 22 to 28.
I’ve been a small business owner for over 20 years.
I’m also a rugby player, coach, mentor, strength and fitness geek, mechanic, gardener, learner, and sometimes teacher.
When I hit 50 (2016) I found myself meditating on the lyrics of “Once In A Lifetime” (Talking Heads):
And you may find yourself
Living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself
In another part of the world
And you may find yourself
Behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
With a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here?
It’s important to live on purpose and not just wake up asking yourself, “How did I get here?”
I’ve seen a lot, experienced a lot, and I love to share my successes and failures with guys coming along behind me.
Some of the topics I love talking about? Life Planning, parenting, home schooling, fitness/nutrition.
I’ve come to recognize that the older you are – if you are indeed, becoming wiser – the more you know how much you don’t know. We learn together.
So, hopefully, together we can be help each other become
- Better husbands
- Better fathers
- Better men
