This means that it is not wise to put all of your faith in a single thing. If you are in a ship at sea, it is not enough to just have one anchor to keep it still, it needs multiple anchors so that if one doesn’t hold, the others can. Similarly, in life it is important to have multiple sources of hope, rather than relying on just one. This is because having different sources of hope can ensure that if one source of hope doesn’t work, you will still have other options to keep you afloat and give you the strength to continue.
