Cup of Joe #18: Drop Your Anchor

I was talking to a my dear friend, Josh, years back about Navy Seals training. At some point in the conversation I said something lousy like, "I could never do that." Josh, whose spirit and perspective I love and respect deeply, said, "I believe I could do it, because it's been done." That was an anchor moment for me. I dropped one there and I'll always remember that mindset. I'm still working on it for myself, but I'll always remember that moment.  Our anchors are reminders of times we've succeeded, or times we tried in the face of adversity, or lessons we've learned. I'll bet it doesn't take you more than a few seconds to recall memories that might have you scratching your head as to why you remember those things out of all of the things you could possibly remember. You have anchors that you can reflect on when the going gets tough, to help remind you of what you've done before, and encourage you to the fact that you could do it again. Thanks for listening!
