Sometimes we are the anchor of another person's ship holding them back. It is painful to let that person set sail and be free, yet it is necessary for their freedom and discovery.
Yesterday I posted about our core values and the importance of discovering them. As I contemplated the subject further I realized why it is important to truly discover them. There are two sets of core values inside of us. One is a true'ness' set of core values and one is a fabricated set of core values. The fabricated set is the one that causes us to live a a self-told lie. It causes us to anchor another persons ship from sailing free.
An anchor is a either a powerful tool or a great hinder to our freedom or to the freedom of another spiritual being. The anchor must be self-lowered and for a reason of proper advancement and freedom.
If you are the great hinder, it is taking the higher road to cut yourself off and allow their ship to sail. There will be pain involved in your heart and probably in the heart of the one you set free. There will be a day you will look back upon this day and it will make sense.
The b side to the truth today is sometimes we hold people back because we are holding our self back. It boils down to true'ness' and authenticity with your self and your core values that I will call true'ness' values. The values that as your "I AM" inside of you; your true'ness'; your communication with God, will dictate them to you. They come from with in and not from someone else's list of values, or from a book, or from anything else than your self and God.
And not living true to those core values will cause you to be out of balance and become an anchor in the life of those you most care about. So here's the question you have to ask yourself... who am I anchoring from from freedom? And why am I anchoring them from freedom? Is it holding my ship back from setting sail? Is it holding me back because I am not being authentic?
Without pain... we would never be able to experience true bliss and joy.
