Burn the Boats

Hey brother,

Every man says he wants to change.
But most leave a back door open
just in case it gets hard.

They say they’re done drinking…
but keep the contacts saved.

They say they want to build a business…
but never delete the job apps.

They say they’re all in…
but live like they’re half out.

Here’s the truth:
If you want to become the man you say you are,
you have to burn the boats.

The Belief Shift: No Plan B. No exit. No safety net.
The reason most men stay stuck is simple.
They always give themselves a way out.

Change requires full commitment.
Not when it’s easy.
Not when it’s convenient.
But when there’s no turning back.

If you want the life you’ve never had,
you have to eliminate every path back to the old one.

The Solution: 3 Ways to Burn the Boats

→ Step 1: Identify Your Escape Hatches
Where are you still playing it safe?
• Do you keep “just one” vice around?
• Do you keep toxic people in your life “just in case”?
• Do you keep saying “I’ll start next week”?

Get honest.
List the doors you keep cracked open.

→ Step 2: Eliminate the Option
Don’t negotiate with the old you.
Cut it off.

Delete the numbers.
Remove the apps.
Throw it out.
Quit the thing that’s killing your confidence.

Make it impossible to retreat.

→ Step 3: Burn It Publicly
Tell someone. Post about it.
Commit in a way that adds weight.
Let the world know who you are becoming
and don’t give your past self a place to hide.

This is how you change for real.
You go all in.
You burn the boats.
And you never look back.
