  Speaker 1: Hey, I want to thank you for checking out Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It's 21 different podcasts that explore where we are, where
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we're growing to, where we've been, and oh my God,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it's a brand new movie and who's starring in it.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Have you checked out the podcast yet, Beyond the Calling yet?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: These are the men and women who have served this
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: nation and have come back home to make life even
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: greater on our soil. Be on the calling, only on Arrow.net.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: A-R-R-O-E dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Those old sayings, phrases, idioms,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you know those things your family and friends usually came
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: up with and they came from out of nowhere and
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: nobody really understood what they meant? But they had to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: start somewhere, right? I mean, who, what, where, why, when,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and how. Some of those old sayings are not only ancient,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: but they still carry a powerful punch today. Something our
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: parents would say. My name is Arrow. If you ignore
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the dragon... It will eat you. What? If you try
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to confront the dragon, it will overpower you. If you
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: ride the dragon, you will take advantage of its might
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and power. This is seen as an ancient Chinese proverb. Well,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: here's the shocker. It's only been around in the English
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: form for about 10 years. Helping to push it out
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: there have been self-help books, leadership seminars, and personal growth discussions.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, we got to break this down. If you
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: ignore the dragon, it will eat you, meaning problems, fears,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: major changes, and responsibilities. Up next, if you confront the dragon,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it will overpower you. You know, some challenges are too
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: large or complex. Changing them is going to exhaust you. Now,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: if you ride the dragon, you will take advantage of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: their might and power. The biggest rule is to understand
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the challenge and work with its energy rather than go
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: against it. It's essentially a lesson in adaptation. Rather than
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: avoidance or warfare, sometimes the strongest and best thing for
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you to do is to learn how to steer the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: force that seems to be overpowering you with physical control.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Basically meaning, the Chinese proverb speaks of riding the dragon
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: rather than killing it. It's something our parents would say.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: But do we understand it, even today? Hmm... I'm Arrow.
