You find out what you’re anchored to when the waves start hitting.

Calm weather hides the question. When nothing is pulling, anything looks like it is holding you, and you can go years without discovering whether it would. Pressure is the moment the answer becomes visible, since what you rely on shows up in what you reach for at two in the morning. That is information rather than a test you failed.

Notice what you turn to first when something goes wrong this week. The phone, the food, the person, the prayer, the plan. There is no need to be ashamed of the answer, just ask whether that thing can carry the weight you keep handing it, and add one that can.
