The Belief

You don't grow beyond the level of your mindset.

There's this famous story of faith that I heard a long time back.

In 1954, Roger Bannister ran a mile in under 4 minutes.

No one had ever broken 4 minutes before. It was?thought to be?impossible.

Six weeks later, John Landy, an Australian runner, finally broke this barrier again, improving on Bannister's time by over a second. A year later, three runners broke the four-minute barrier in a single race.

What changed suddenly?

Did they wear different shoes? Did the training methods change? Did they change their diet?

No.

It was something else that most people in this generation don't have.

Most people have been brought up to think that they can achieve anything by not working hard.

What changed was his belief that it could be done.

It was that belief that if it's been done before, it can be done again.

Bannister kept trying until he did it.?

After that,?other runners had a new belief in themselves and started wondering if they could do it too.

Bannister broke?the record and shattered a mental block in the minds of others.

That's what champions are made of. They inspire others to dream.

It's?a great reminder?that limitations are often self-imposed. If you believe you can, you will, no matter the odds.

We put up barriers in our minds that prevent us from achieving things.

Learning an instrument, a new skill going after your dreams or maybe starting a side hustle - these goals seem out of reach.

• Not enough time.
• Too many distractions.
• Lack of faith.
• No idea where to start.

These are just stories we tell ourselves to avoid trying.

Work?on your mind as much as your body.

Know that it can be done.
