It's Time to Burn the Boats || Ep. 27

Tanner clark
About this episode

Burn the boats.

This weeks episode of The Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner talks about the need to burn the boats that are keeping us anchored to comfort. The phrase “Burn the boats” comes from the 1500’s when Hernan Cortez instructed his men to destroy the ships they had just arrived on so that there was no turning back.  In one commend and act he made it so his Spanish Conquistadors would be forced to go forward.  There was no retreat. There was no “plan b”. There was only forward, fight, and win.

How often are we failing to move forward simply because we give ourselves the option to go backwards if it gets to hard or too scary

It’s time to burn the boats. It’s time to move forward with faith that forward is the right direction. It’s time to be confident in your abilities and your future. It’s time to burn the boats.
