Have you ever caught yourself working so hard at something, but felt like you weren't making any progress? Yeah, me too...

LIFT THE ANCHOR

“Sometimes the answer is not rowing harder or faster. It’s about lifting the anchor.”

Join Dave for some UPLIFTING talk about:

• THE GREAT CONFUSION: MOTION VERSUS PROGRESS
• SOMETIMES WORKING HARDER ACTUALLY MAKES THINGS WORSE
• WHY DO WE AUTOMATICALLY ROW HARDER?
• WHAT DOES AN ANCHOR LOOK LIKE? 10 COMMON ANCHORS
• ANCHORS AREN'T ALWAYS BAD
• 10 SIGNS YOU MAY BE ROWING AGAINST AN ANCHOR
• SOMETIMES SUBTRACTION BEATS ADDITION - THE MATH OF THE ANCHOR
• ROWING IS STILL REQUIRED
• FIVE THINGS TO STOP DOING
• FIVE THINGS TO START DOING

There's nothing wrong with being a hard worker.

• Work hard.
• Care deeply.
• Show up.
• Be disciplined.
• Keep your word.
• Do difficult things.
• Row like hell when rowing is what's required.

But every once in a while...put the oars down. Look around.

Ask yourself whether all this effort is actually moving you.

Because your life isn't measured by how exhausted you became trying.

It's measured, in part, by where you went.

Sometimes the breakthrough isn't learning to row harder.

It isn't rowing faster. It isn't becoming stronger.

Sometimes...you just have to lift the anchor.

And once you do...you might be amazed how quickly the boat starts to move.

Giddyup!!!
