Four minute mile...
Do you know the story of the four minute -mile?
For the 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.It had seemed no one would ever be able to break a 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 imposible".And the year after that,300 other runners did the same thing !.
People so often develop limiting beliefs about who they are and what theyare capable of.Because they haven't succeeded in the past,they believe they won't be able to succeed in the future.As a result,out of their fear of pain, they begin to constantly say "Lets be realistic," are really just living in fear,deathly afraid of being disappointed again.Out of that fear,they develop beliefs that cause them to hesitate,to not give their all - consequently they get limited results.

"The belief that becomes truth for me.... is that which allows me the best use of my strength,the best means of putting my virtues into action"
-Andre Gide
