The more active you are chances are you’re healthier and more fit. Dave also discusses his feelings on different disciplines. He discusses opportunities for growth. He discusses his Boxing training. Are kids today mastering disciplines? If not what does that mean for the future? Does discipline offer hope? We read listeners comments. We previously discussed what we’ve quit. Next episode we hope to discuss what we want to learn, to master or to experience growth with. Dave mentions how he would like to live the next 30 years like he should have lived his first 30 years.
