BURN THE BOATS!!!!
I look at a picture almost once a day of a burned boat, that picture gives me stamina to want to kick butt every single day of the week. The picture is motivating because it tells me your either all in or go home. So I wanted to share the picture with you in the hopes it does the same for you that it has done for me. Read on
The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire
In February 1519, Hernando Cortez set sail on the final leg of an ocean voyage that was to take him from Cuba to the distant shores of the Yucatan as the legend tells it.
He commanded 11 ships with more than 500 soldiers, 100 sailors, and 16 horses, bound for Mexico to take the bound for Mexico to take the world's richest treasure. The precious jewels, gold, silver, and sculptures sheltered on this limestone peninsula had been hoarded by the same army for over 600 years.
Cortez had heard of riches of the Yucatan. With his men they arrived on shore. They did not go and take the treasure immediately, they waited until they were ready. Cortez shared with his man how the treasure would change their lives, make a difference in there families. Children grow up in favor and wealth.
TORCHED THE BOATS!!
Then Cortez told his men to "Burn the boats."
The men were outraged wondering how they were going to get back to their families!
Cortez told them to burn the boats, if they where going home there where taking there boats home. He wanted them to have a take it or die attitude.hey would conquer the Yucatan army and gain their fortune. They would take the Yucatan's boats home.
This is whats in my mind for 2013, its do or die time, its no excuses time. Its stop playing and kick butt time, we live at a awesome time right now. There is a lot of opportunity out here to take advantage of, no matter if I fail, its alright, no matter if it does not happen the way I want. It does not matter, what matters is the next choice I make to let my awesomeness shine.
How about you, whats your boat? Whats standing in the way of your success, your destiny changing moment. Or that little things that would bring a smile to your face on a constant basis. Everybody definitions of success is not the same. Burn your boats, make it happen for you, no matter if its that book you need to write, that movie script you need to get finished. Or maybe that business idea that can create a change in your life. What ever it is , DO IT!!!
