Burn The Ships

In 1519, Hernando Cortez landed on the shores of Veracruz, Mexico. Wanted his army to conquer the land for splain. Faced an uphill battle: an aggressive enemy, brutal disease and scarce resources. As they marches inland to do battle, Cortez ordered one of this lieutenants back to the beach with a single instruction: "Burn our ships".

How fully would you show up each day-at work and in life- if retreat just wasn't an option? How high would you reach, how greatly would you dare, how hard would you work and how loud would you live if you knew... your ships are burning...that failure just wasn't a possibility? Remarkable human beings get formed by living from a frame of reference that tells them they just have to win.
