Scott Schwab:
I had this quote sent to me on Friday. We were speaking about how failure or the appearance of failure is necessary for success. Often times the most insurmountable and challenging odds are overcome with a hard work, faith, and the powers outside our control.
We were speaking about Hernando Cortez and his 1519 conquest to the southern/central Americas. He attempted to do what others had tried and others had failed to do. He, with 500 solders, 100 sailors, and 16 horses, conquered an army that outnumbered them almost 5 to 1. This was due to the fact that he eliminated options for retreat, and before the conquest; built up his army with visualizing success and accomplishing their goals.
He did this through 3 simple words: "Burn the Ships."
What holds us back? What keeps us from achieving our goals? Burn your ships of self doubt, pity, fear, and move forward with confidence that you have all the power and genius to accomplish much more than you can even imagine.
"What God has intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine."
