How many times do we avoid doing something because we decide that it\u2019s impossible?<\/p>\n

Impossible is a interesting concept. Some of us invest heavily in it. Others not a cent.<\/p>\n

There was a time when the medical, athletic and scientific communities believed that it was a physiologically impossibility for a human being to run a mile in four minutes. It was simply beyond the capabilities of the human anatomy.<\/p>\n

Well guess what?<\/p>\n

A runner, named Roger Bannister, and his coach, couldn\u2019t understand this.<\/p>\n

They\u2019d done the math.<\/p>\n

Bannister could run a quarter mile in 60 seconds, why then couldn\u2019t he complete four quarters of a mile in four minutes?<\/p>\n

Seemed logical\u2014doable.<\/p>\n

So, they decided to challenge the conventional wisdom and find out. They agreed to \u2018test\u2019 the theory<\/a>. Bannister practiced running one minute quarter miles. Then, he extended his efforts, little by little until he could run half a mile in two minutes. Eventually, he worked his way up to the full mile.<\/p>\n

On May 6, 1954, Bannister smashed through the limits what had been thought \u2018possible\u2019.<\/p>\n

He was 25.<\/p>\n

He raised the bar of possibility around the world.<\/p>\n

Are you ready for how long his record lasted?<\/p>\n

46 days. Yep. Because it was now \u2018possible\u2019 others simply did it too.<\/p>\n

Now, any serious runner who cannot run a four-minute mile, isn\u2019t remotely competitive.<\/p>\n

Bannister went on to become a distinguished neuroscientist. When asked if his proudest achievement was breaking the 4 minute mile, he said no. He was most proud of his contributions to science in the understanding of the nervous system.<\/p>\n

He is still alive at age 87 having lived a rich, full life.<\/p>\n

The Story Made Me Reflect on My Own Life <\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought of the big dreams I\u2019d had in my own life. Some I\u2019d dismissed as impossible or too big and walked away before taking any action at all. \u00a0Let\u2019s call those the lost dreams.<\/p>\n

Others though big I\u2019d approached differently. I\u2019d systematically broken them down into small steps. \u00a0I got into action (albeit small) but action nonetheless and baby step by baby step inched forward building momentum.<\/p>\n

It was encouraging to see my little bits of progress so I picked up the pace. Then seemingly without \u2018trying\u2019 things began to fall into place. Soon it felt like I was on a 5 lane expressway full of energy and optimism motoring towards the dream.<\/p>\n

When I think of each and every case where I got into action. I eventually broke through the ceiling of impossibility, just like Roger Bannister. \u00a0In several cases what I achieved was much greater than anything I had initially imagined! In others the dream morphed and changed along the way and something different but equally satisfying and fulfilling came into fruition.<\/p>\n

If you can dream it, you can create it<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m working a big dream right now. Some days the sheer magnitude of it completely overwhelms me. When that happens I\u2019m immobilized. I can\u2019t move I can\u2019t act. The emotion I feel is despair.\u00a0 Nothing happens.<\/p>\n

Other days when I take one tiny step towards dream and I feel great! Hopeful. \u00a0Then there are other days when it seems like all I see is green lights and I take several steps\u2026big steps\u2026 they just appear\u2026and I go. I feel completely energized and optimistic. \u201cIt\u2019s happening!\u201d <\/em>It delights me tickles my insides.<\/p>\n

While every day is different, every day where I take ACT-ion, I feel Great!<\/p>\n
