What you believe you will achieve!

"In 1954, the entire sports world believed that it was humanly impossible to run a mile in faster than four minutes. Their limiting belief was supported by research reported in more than fifty medical journals throughout the world attesting to that "fact". We now know that Roger Bannister challenged and broke through that barrier. What is not so well known is that the sub- four-minute-mile was achieved by more than forty-five runners within the next eighteen months. It is difficult to believe that all those athletes increased their performance within that short amount of time. A more likely explanation is that once the four-minute barrier was broken, they all believed it could be broken again."
