It isn't because we're not talented.
It isn't even necessarily because we don't want it.
It's because we don't realize how high we could achieve.
I think that's the biggest limiting reactant, realizing our highs.
One of my favorite stories, if not my favorite story, story of Roger Bannister.
Four Minute Mile.
Four Minute Mile.
For those that aren't familiar, Roger Bannister.
Scientists believed it was physically impossible, impossible to run a mile in under four minutes.
Quick history lesson for everybody.
It's my favorite story.
Scientists believe it's physically impossible to run a mile in under four minutes.
May 5th, 1952, it had never been done in 2000 years, but by May 6th, Roger Bannister, Oxford, England, runs a mile, three minutes, 59 seconds.
Within two years, 10 people ran a mile in under four minutes.
Now, the world record for the mile, three minutes, 43 seconds, and roughly 1800 people have done so.
Why?
Because one man, Roger Bannister, removed the barriers that other people set around him.
One man said, you know what?
I'm not gonna subscribe to that barrier.
One man said, I'm not gonna subscribe to goals.
