What's Keeping You Tethered?


"A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."
--Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper


We allow all sorts of things to keep us "safely" in port. Fear of failure. Fear of success. The pain of some childhood rejection still telling us we don't deserve better.

What's keeping you tethered? And what's your plan for casting off and doing what you must to hoist the sails? For without a plan, the the courage to act on it, the one certainly in this life is that you're staying where you are.
