- any of various devices dropped by a chain, cable, or rope to the bottom of a body of water for preventing or restricting the motion of a vessel or other floating object, typically having broad, hooklike arms that bury themselves in the bottom to provide a firm hold.
Interesting how the first definition is based on preventing something from doing something else. It is defining what a anchor does! It looks at the main purpose! Why it was created. Why were you created? Where is your anchor?
- a person or thing that can be relied on for support, stability, or security; mainstay: Hope was his only anchor.
It took 4 definitions before it refered to people! Have you considered your anchors in life? Where is your perspective? Are you consistent? Are you easily swayed? Have you checked the source of your anchor? Where did you get the information that you decided would be a good anchor for your life?
We place anchors to stand against the tide! What tides are you facing? Have you placed your anchor in the truth that can only hold your anchor fast to where you have chosen? We are only as strong as our weakest link. Time to consider what you're standing for is based on the ROCK of truth or simply sea bed mud that can give way to any current willing to shake it? Where is your anchor?
