How can you fly like an eagle while your leg is anchored in a trap? You must let go before progress can take place.

 

OUR POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BELIEFS PLAY A POWERFUL ANCHORING ROLE IN OUR LIVES. CERTAIN ANCHORS ARE POSITIVE AND STABILISE OUR LIVES WHILE OTHERS IN TURN ANCHORED US IN A STATE OF HELPLESSNESS

What we believe or think we become. I am not focused on our religious beliefs or faith here, in am concerned about the anchors that we have been putting down since early childhood. An anchor can keep a ship steady and prevent it from ending up on the rocks or it can prevent it from moving forward to new destination. If you have a negative fear filled belief, it can anchor you and prevent you from reaching your desired objective. If you have several negative, false and destructive habits or beliefs it will take an above average effort to break the chains that are keeping you stationary.

Please note that acceptable and positive anchors play a very important role in your life. Positive anchors will protect you during the destructive storms of life. It will sustain you during turbulent periods in relationships or testing times in your career. Positive anchors that come in the form of loyal friends and family can keep your boat afloat when the howling winds of circumstances are driving you towards the rocks of destructions. Advantageous anchors are vital for our survival and play an important role in turbulent times.

Negative and destructive anchors tend to hold us back when we want to make our dreams and goals a reality. Our fear of potential pain anchors us in a state of hopelessness. If we formed a certain mindset about something, it becomes an anchor. Positive anchors secure us during turbulent times, but when the storm subsides, they can be lifted and will allow us to move to new destinations. Negative anchors keep us in a paralysed no-win state.

We thus have positive anchors that protect us during the stormy periods and then we have negative anchors that keep us stationary in the sea of fear. The winners and champions are all individuals that succeeded in cutting away the negative anchors that tie them down. These negative anchors are not only negative thoughts and defective habits, but sometimes come in human form. People can become a serious hampering force in your life. They can anchor you with their warped minds and defective and damaging behaviour. They often use fear of loss and rejection to keep you anchored to them.

I WILL ANCHOR MYSELF TODAY WITH POSITIVE THOUGHTS. I WILL NOT ALLOW NEGATIVE ANCHORS TO KEEP ME FROM DOING WHAT I KNOW NEED TO BE DONE!

Check your boat of life today and see if you can spot some of the negative anchors that have been keeping you stationary. They are usually the anchors that are founded on fear. Fear of failure and pain is at the root of most of the anchors in our lives. The moment we spot the slight possibility of potential pain, we abandon our journey and allow our fear to keep us in a stationary position.

Even when the slightest wind of change blows over us, we rush out and throw our anchors overboard into the sea of life. We are so petrified of potential pain that we never really visit far off lands or exploit our full potential. Many of us remain in our safe harbour (comfort zone) and foolishly think that our fear anchors will protect us against potential disasters.

The biggest disaster is not the actual storms in life, but the fear we have of getting hurt physically or mentally. We keep our negative anchors in position even during sunshine and good weather days. How can you fly like an eagle while your leg is anchored in a trap? You must let go before progress can take place.

Only when you release can you move from where you are to where you want to be. Only when you begin to live your life in a bold “one moment at the time” manner can you escape the endless number of negative anchors of your past.
