The power of belief or how to turn the impossible into the possible…
Many of us will fail to live the life that we want to live because of our limiting beliefs…
It is said that, “certainty is the winner’s edge…” So, in order to illustrate that truism, I would like to share that excerpt from “Awaken the Giant Within” by Tony Robbins with you… hoping that it could inspire and motivate…
Quote:
"Do you know the story of the four-minute mile?
For thousands of years, people held the belief that it was impossible for a human being to run the mile in less than four minutes. But in 1954 Roger Bannister broke this imposing belief barrier.
He got himself to achieve the “impossible” not merely by physical practice but by constantly rehearsing the event in his mind, breaking through the four-minute barrier so many times with so much emotional intensity that he created vivid references that became an unquestioned command to his nervous system to produce the result. Many people don’t realize, though, that the greatest aspect of his breakthrough was what it did for others.
In the whole history of the human race, no one had ever been able to break the four-minute mile, yet within one year of Roger’s breaking the barrier, 37 other runners also broke it.
His experience provided them with references strong enough to create a sense of certainty that they, too, could “do the impossible.” And the year after that, 300 other runners did the same thing!"
