Anchors in Life

Just like a ship needs an anchor to stabilize and hold it to port, humans too, I feel, have and require anchors to hold them in life. It could be an emotional anchor, a physical anchor, an anchor that stimulates your curiosity, a family member, a friend or a partner or a spiritual being.

An anchor holds you and helps you stabilize in stormy weather. An anchor can keep you going or stop you from going. An anchor orients you, helps you formulate your values and beliefs.

An anchor could be someone or something or oneself (thanks Saswata for the thought). Writing here is one of my anchors; what’s your anchor?
