Accomplishing your life goals often means telling friends and family that you hear an alternate calling in life. When your ship is preparing to sail, there will soon come a time when you’ll have to decide to hop on board and flee the safe harbor that you call home.

In Scandinavian folklore, the Kraken was a giant squid-like monster that terrorized merchant sailors in the waters of the North Atlantic. A ship might be sailing smoothly along its way. But if the Kraken’s long tentacles managed to grab hold of its mast, then all hope was lost. The ship would be pulled down to the depths of the sea—never to be seen again.

The voyage of our life is vulnerable to similarly veiled threats. We may be ready to set sail in pursuit of our dreams. But if we allow ourselves to be held back by the creatures of the deep, then our vessel will fail to reach the blue water; the grand adventure of our lives will amount to nothing more than a fish story.

Like a night watchman scanning the horizon (intent on keeping his ship out of harm’s way), so too must we remain on the lookout for the goal-destroyers that lurk around us—the deadweight that prevents us from achieving our dreams. Such nefarious creatures will always be in your proximity. Their tentacles will forever be reaching for you—intent on pulling you down to their level, intent on holding you back.

So what’s holding you back?
