Every relationship ends by way of graduation, divorce, or death.
Our identities are shaped by that which we cling to.
It’s easier to move on if you let go of the need to move on.
If you can’t let go, you can’t move on.
Letting go begins when you loosen your grip.
Graduation is a celebration of moving on—from a pleasant or unpleasant experience.
If you cling for long enough, it will eventually result in divorce or death.
If you are willing to let go of anything, you are free from its influence.
Sometimes you have to remove something from your life to see whether or not it adds value.
There are no shoulds; there are only infinite coulds.
Every loss is a kind of death; every loss is a chance at rebirth.
Everyone wants to know where to start, but people rarely ask where to stop.

Good luck Danny and Shawn! Congrats y'all on the new transition and projects. As an endurance athlete myself I appreciate well-told stories/videos of those ultra-marathon races Danny!
