Seagoing vessels occasionally use a device that connects them to the seabed to prevent drifting due to wind and current. We occasionally need something or someone to prevent us from drifting away into danger or the unknown.
Often, you hear people say that another person or their religion is their anchor that provides support and guidance. Everyone may need temporary help to feel safe, to rest and recuperate. An anchor, however, may prevent us from moving forward, a risk necessary for survival, development, and other essential activities. Even though we may not feel totally capable to make the journey or are not secure in our independence, if we are tied to the same spot because of tradition or connection to the opinions of others, we will not experience the true adventure of life.
Anchors Aweigh!
