123/365 BURN YOUR BOATS, TAKE THEIRS, TAKE THE ENTIRE ISLAND TOO!
Hernán Cortés, a spanish conquistador, was put in command to secure Mexico for colonization. With only 600 troops taking on the indigenous people with more resources and understanding, it seemed to be an insurmountable act.
engagement was optional, victory was mandatory, surrender is not an option. So Cortés had commanded his soldiers to burn the boats. With no turning back, distractions and mutiny can cause death. The way to return home now is to take the enemy’s boats, take the entire island.
This is you, when you go all in and all out. This is you when the only path you take is forward. And this is you when you decide to take everything in a zero-sum game. No half-wins, no gold stars for trying, no consolation prizes. Win or win.?
And as history would dictate, Hernán Cortés fought from beach to outland, mainland and to the inner cities of Mexico, causing the fall of the Aztec Empire. There is great power when you forcefully put yourself in a position with your back against the wall, when you burn your boats
I don't know what you fight for at this moment, a competition where you’re the underdog, a relationship that lopsided and you make it right, or a business that is about to go out. Eliminate all excuses , strategically put yourself where you have nowhere to go but forward.
