If you want to take the island, burn your boats.

     This is a continuation of yesterday's blog about setting big freaking scary goals. One other suggestion from Matt Frazier, of  "No Meat Athlete" fame......If you want to take the island, burn your boats.
     I'm more of the type to keep things on the down low.  I hedge my bets.  I'd rather not fail publicly. I just quietly go about doing whatever I plan.
     He suggests that by doing that, you fail before you start....that it is okay to fail, and to fail publicly. You learn from failure.  It is much better to be a doer than a watcher....a competitor than a spectator.
     He suggests telling everyone your goals.  Tell friends, family, Facebook.  Take  risks. Burn your boats.
