The Second Arrow

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:01]I got rejected today.

[00:00:03]And I spent the last 6 hours hating myself for being upset about it.

[00:00:06]>> So, you got hurt once and then hurt yourself five more times.

[00:00:12]Yeah.

[00:00:13]Sure did. There's an old teaching.

[00:00:16]When something painful happens, that's like getting [music] hit with an arrow.

[00:00:21]That part, you cannot control.

[00:00:25]But most people pick up a second arrow and shoot themselves with it.

[00:00:30]And a third.

[00:00:32]And a fourth.

[00:00:32]>> So, what do I do with the first one?

[00:00:34]>> Just let it hurt.

[00:00:36]That's all it was asking.
