There is a saying often heard: "Do not go around Burning
 
Bridges." This is a phrase created for our safety. So if
 
something bad happens, we can just go back and pull the
 
bridge safety.
 
This is good and all for a mediocre life. However if you
 
want to live an amazing, abundant-inspiring life, you're
 
going to have to hold a torch now and again.
 
After all, when the Greek arrives on the Trojan shore in
 
the Iliad, they burned their boats behind them. It sent
 
a message to every troop there. That the only way they
 
were going to leave this place was either through death
 
or victory. Do you imagine which one they wanted more?
 
Though this example is extreme, it is important to
 
recognize that sometimes bridges are crutches. They will
 
only allow you to go so far into uncharted territory
 
before you scurry back inwards.
 
You can burn your bridges mentally by making the
 
decision that you will never give up. That you will
 
never give in, nor heed to the dream-stealers that
 
attempt to tear at your goals.
 
A person I know decided he would be an entrepreneur that
 
traveled the world with only computer in hand to build
 
his business. You know what he did? He quit his job,
 
bought a one-way ticket, a good backpack and shoes and
 
began his journey.
 
He burned all the bridges.
 
It was either time to make it or get crushed. And
 
because burning these bridges, for the first time he is
 
making money outside of a job that is supporting
 
himself. And soon that income will grow even further to
 
support his dreams of traveling the world forever
 
By burning his bridges, it realigned with his mind that
 
this is the only way out. The only way to get to
 
happiness and security is by going forward.
 
When you have this mentality, you become almost
 
unstoppable. Because now your mind is looking for
 
opportunities, any at all, that it can clutch to reach
 
your goals. It is frantically searching for a method to
 
make things work because there is no other option left.
 
This is a very powerful psychological condition. For
 
anyone seeking to truly transform themselves, this is
 
the only psychological condition you should be in. As it
 
is the only one powerful enough to revolutionize your
 
entire mind, body and soul.
