Derek had the opportunity to speak at the graduation ceremony for his local high school and the first point that he talked about was suffering. That same topic came up again when his daughter was struggling with some of her own issues.

It may sound like a crazy question on the surface but...is suffering actually helpful?

As humans, we are built to avoid pain and suffering at all costs. We buy all kinds of products that make our life easier but is that actually giving us a better quality of life?

If you are going through a period of time where you or someone around you is suffering, make sure to check out this episode and share it with those that need to hear it. Suffering may actually be the BEST thing that you can go through...if you fully understand it.
