Release

.

Anchors are fine things to keep you in a harbor while a storm rages outside.

There comes a time to release the anchor from the bottom, haul it up, and sail the deep ocean.


"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

"There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries." - From Julius Caesar - Shakespeare

Look at all that is binding you in harbor.

Perhaps the anchor needs to be hoisted aboard and the sails raised.

Perhaps also there are many small anchors and lines holding you down like Gulliver secured by smug Lilliputians. It could be time to leave pride and the self satisfaction of small victories behind, and strive for freedom. Cut the lines and escape to a larger world.

Consider all that keeps you where you are. Consider if where you are is all you have ever wanted from your life.

Act.
