When you start to realize life is starting to change, change with it.

Can we challenge the standard educational model to pursue a different path?

Tyree shares how during his graduate school days, he struggles to accept the reality that it would change his life. But, knowing how much effort it took to get there – along with striving to make his mother proud – he finished the studies and graduated. But, was it worth it? A lot of us struggle with education as a bonus. Many of us never went to graduate school in our 20s and may consider it now. So, what’s the real deal with graduate school?

Transitions always have a catalyst that help to illuminate the path

Losing family members is never easy. Tyree shares how his struggle to accept losing his mother shaped his 30s moving forward. What choice do you have other than to accept and move on? IS there more to accepting loss than simply admitting it happened and to cope with the hole left in your life? Turg mentions that loss doesn’t always necessarily translate to a bad thing. And on the opposite side of loss, there is gain. Lessons can be learned in both forms and may be equally difficult to cope with. 

So with loss comes gain and with gain comes personal growth

How do we measure our progress without a catalyst to help push us through to the next level? What changes inside of us bleeds into our lives in more ways than we can measure. Tyree shares a bit of his perspective on the totality of death and the weight personal loss may carry on someone’s soul. Nothing is final – but it may feel that way. Rise above and take yourself out of the moment in order to see what the future may hold.
