“In the 1950s, it was believed that running a mile in less than 4 minutes was beyond human capabilities. Until one man proved it wrong. Within two years, 300 other runners also ran a mile under four minutes. They had the ability to do it all along, but were stopped by the common belief that it wasn’t possible. It’s not our dreams themselves that motivate us to reach for them.

It’s believing that they’re within our reach.”

 

Dreams are the fuel that has propelled mankind forward. They are our intense desires to want more, to achieve, to challenge, to explore and to push. We all have them, yet few of us act on them. Is this because we don’t believe they’re attainable?

We often find ourselves bound by our debilitating thoughts; I can’t, it’s too risky, I’m afraid, that’s impossible.

We do have weaknesses, fears and doubts, but we must remember that they are overpowered by psychological strength. By the most powerful directing force of our future: Our Belief.
