2. Have you ever
heard of…

3. The expression
or phrase “To
burn your
bridges”?

4. Or perhaps
“To burn your
boats”?

5. And sometimes, it’s the
other way around

6. I.e. “Don’t burn
your bridges”

7. In today’s episode…

8. I’ll be sharing about
the strategy of burning
your bridges in…

9. A different context
from what you…

10. Might have
usually heard or
read before…

11. So that you get a lot
more focused on…

12. What you need to
do in your life

13. Rather than be held back
by your Achilles’ heel

14. But first…

15. Let’s talk about where
the expression…

16. Is said to
originate from

17. This phrase started
from an ancient military
strategy that is…

18. Connected to the self-
destruction of boats

19. In the year 1519,
Captain
Hernando
Cortes
destroyed…

20. Mexico and the
Aztec Empire

21. With less than 1000
soldiers, he was able to…

22. Conquer a nation 5000
times bigger than his
army number

23. While there is controversy
over details, there’s
no debate…

24. Cortes was ABSOLUTELY
committed to winning

25. That he was utterly
persuasive in…

26. Getting his soldiers to
wreck their own ships

27. In order to prevent
any possible idea of
retreat or escape

28. It forced them to
either die or succeed
in the process

29. This situation of being
cornered and

30. Left with no other
choice…

31. Bred absolute
commitment for them…

32. And the rest
is history

33. If you’ve heard of the
expression “don’t burn
your bridges” before…

34. It’s usually to do with
the context of…

35. Keeping your
options open

36. Especially in employment
and relationships

37. A lot of times this
may be wise but…

38. Not so with what I’ll be
talking about now

39. In working with many
people before…

40. I’m well aware that
many have got…

41. Lifelong bad or
unproductive bondages,
obsessions & habits

42. These include drinking,
gambling, pornography…

43. And so on
and so forth

44. We greatly underestimate
how much…

45. These addictions and
habits may cost us…

46. In terms of veering
away from our…

47. True purpose, mission
and calling…

48. In terms of money, time
and resources wasted…

49. And also the immense
impact on…

50. Our family
and loved ones

51. As long as we
remain unclear and
unconscious…

52. As to how much
the damage is

53. We’ll remain where we are
and do little about them

54. Would you like to
know 2 examples…

55. Where I’ve actually
burned my bridges?

56. Over 10 years ago,
starting from when…

57. I was about 12
years of age…

58. I grew a bad habit and
obsession of gaming

59. In those times, I was
still schooling and…

60. Would not return
home till…

61. I’ve wasted at least 5
dollars each day at
the gaming arcade

62. I’m certain I’ve wasted
tens of thousands of
dollars and not to add…

63. Precious irrecoverable
time in doing so

64. It came to a critical
point where I…

65. Realised it amounted
to little to no good

66. And was not building
up my future that I…

67. Decided to sever
my gaming

68. As a 2nd example, I used
to like following a ton
of soccer news

69. While it’s fine to have a
hobby or follow a sport,

70. It’s extremely
unproductive

71. To keep reading &
keeping up with…

72. Soccer news that wasn’t
going to amount

73. To a hill of beans for
me in my life

74. I’m so glad and thankful
that I no longer…

75. Have these habits
and addictions…

76. Ruining & holding me
back from staying
focused on…

77. What I need to do
on a daily basis

78. I believe it all
starts with your…

79. Awareness of your
problems, issues

80. And challenges & the
deep desire to resolve it

81. As this draws
to an end…

82. Begin to raise your
awareness and
consciousness and…

83. Ask yourself if there are
any bridges to…

84. Bad habits, bondages
or obsessions

85. You need to take a firm
stance on and…

86. Start burning
them away

87. When you do so, a
fresh breath of life…

88. Will come your
way and

89. Your life will take on a
more powerful trajectory

90. Burning your bridges this
way will cause you to…

91. Focus on what really
matters and ultimately,

92. Empower you
to have a…

93. Greater degree of
success in your life

94. As a final point,
sometimes it…

95. Helps greatly
to have someone

96. Assist in this journey
of getting rid of
destructive habits

97. And burning away
those bridges
