Cut the anc*****s off your ship.

[MisterSisterFister]

When sailing a ship what happens when you drop the anchor?

You stay stagnant like a pond, growing an infestation of bacteria,

Yet cut the anchor and you are the river which steadily flows clean and clear never stopping to obstructions, never confined, uncovering ways above and around always steadily moving.

You must find out what in life holds you down, What are your anchors? Are they negative friends? Is it a job you hate?

Drop these things immediately and find peace.

Do not find troubles in what others think of you, Do not go searching of stresses in matters that do not concern you and think deeply make sure you are not creating chaos in your own life.

Instead meditate on the only thing you truly have control over. It is NOT your health, the world nor the thoughts of others.

The one thing you truly have control over is your mind!

So cut the stresses and anchors out of your life and be Happy!

As Marcus Aurelius said, “Focus on things you can change. Your own will and perception detaching from things out of your control health, death actions of others.

Great post. MA kicks arse. I love his quotes.

Yes Marcus Aurelius has some pretty incredible stuff and yet he stayed so humble.

Although I think that this is one of the situations where the saying, "Each to his own applies," but just in case, do you think there are steps that we could take to figure out the anchors in life that unnecessarily burdens us?

Excellent question! I think this could be an entirely other discussion but to sum it up I think anything that holds you back from your happiness or achieving your goals should be cut immediately. It is so much harder to walk with a ball and chain than if you cut the chain and are free to run.
