Sometimes in life we find ourselves being weighed down. It can feel like an anchor keeping your boat hovering in one particular location on the vast ocean, stagnant, for lack of better description. Much like a boat with an anchor down, from the shore things may look calm and peaceful with the boat, however the reality is that the anchor is fighting the flow of the universe.

When you really stop and think about it, a boat that is held still in flowing water is fairly unnatural. Things that are immersed in the ocean are meant to shift and move underneath the immense power of the ocean. Yet, if you stay anchored for long enough you start to normalize it, expect it, and embrace it.

Often, we don’t even recognize how anchored or tied we can be. What if, that very anchor that we think is providing us stability and peace is really just limiting our ability to shift, flow and see what the ocean has to offer us? What if, releasing our anchor resulted in freedom of movement and growth? What if, releasing our anchor brought us to a new view that was far more beautiful than the one we had been seeing. What if, we were meant to release control and trust that the ocean would support us? What if, we could never move forward if we had to hold onto the resistance of our anchor? What if….. you just cut the tie with that which hold you down, holds you back, holds you stagnant?

The question is, what is your anchor? Can you even see it through the water anymore?
