doing the impossible
Where will the records stop? In 1954 Roger Bannister ran a sub-four-minute mile and it ignited the athletic world. In 1994, Eamonn Coghlan of Ireland, at age 41, ran a sub-four-minute mile. Incredibly enough, Kip Keino of Ethiopia, at age 55, ran a 4.06 mile. The fastest mile run to date [when this column was originally written] is 3:43.13 accomplished by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco.
But back in 1954 more than 50 medical journals had published articles saying that the four-minute mile was not humanly possible. Doctors were warning athletes of the dire consequences to anyone who broke that “unbreakable” barrier.
In the meantime, coaches all over the world, with stop-watches in hand, were encouraging their charges to do their best – but to forget about breaking the “impossible” four-minute barrier.
Roger Bannister broke the barrier and changed that thinking by his performance. He refused to believe what others were saying because he didn’t want to limit his own potential. His breakthrough proved that the barrier was a psychological one, not a physiological barrier.
Jerry Lynch, Ph.D., said that when you believe and think “I can,” you activate your motivation, commitment, confidence, concentration and excitement, all of which relate directly to achievement. On the other hand, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right in both cases.”
Dr. Lynch says that the path to personal excellence is cluttered with obstacles. It is my own personal conviction that you can’t develop your full potential without encountering serious obstacles along the way.
Dr. Lynch also says that you can’t stretch your limits without encountering some rough moments. You need to understand that failure and losses are acceptable learning experiences that can help improve your performance. This is true in every part of life, whether it involves athletics, academic achievement, business or sales success.
It’s true that airplanes and kites rise fastest when they fly into the wind. Individuals grow stronger physically, mentally and spiritually when they are “tested” with resistance or opposition. Think about it and I’ll see you at the top!

Advice on attracting positive habits
The way you trade yourself is the way people will buy you.This is true and real.Jim Rohn said that if you want to attract attractive people you must be attractive,if you want to attract powerful people you must be powerful,and if you want to attract successful people you must be successful.
I have seen many people who work tirelessly,diligently,sacrifice much and honest yet they fail in their pursue to become something.This is because they have failed to change who they are to become whom they want to be.You may be looking up to someone in your field,career and profession my advice to you is to call him/her and ask him/her how he made it,after hearing from them then change your person by changing the way you act and think.
It is simple and pray it will be as simpler for you.This is working and found to be a force in nature .Anything you want to be,achieve and become .First change your person by changing the way you act and think ,then you will see the result.This is appliable in things you might say it is irrelevant,for instance if you want to become fat act as if you have been fat long ago.
If you want to become slim act as if you have been slim long ago,wealthy people are not rich because they act and think as if they are,it is because they act as if they are.
This is clear because the world will take the way you have shaped yourself,people like Albert Einstein,Newton and John Faraday are legends because they changed who they were by changing the way they act and think to become who they want to be.
Try this and you will see the result, the magic is act as if .

Entreprenur
As they journey on the path of entrepreneurship, many successful businesspeople would identify their intuition or gut instincts as their compass and mentor. Without it, they wouldn’t have achieved the “unachievable.”
“Don’t let the noise of other people drown out your inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become,” advises Steve Jobs, Apple Computer CEO what is intuition or gut? For some it is a feeling in their stomach, for others, a compelling vision, and for more its an inner voice; all of which are promoting with conviction, a course of action.

Master your mind to achieve your dreams
During these challenging times what are you thinking? Are you focusing on your dreams or your doubts? Are you moving toward what you want or immobilized in the face of the unknown or uncertainty?
If you are not consciously managing your mind, what you may wind up with (by default) are limiting negative thoughts or beliefs that can lead to the demise of your dreams and your happiness.
How do you manage your mind? By consciously paying attention to what you are thinking and proactively choosing what matters to you.

Digging the well within
Sometimes i ask myself why some people do better than others in life the answer is not far fetched this is because they developed the God given potentials.There is no human being God has not deposited with a talent or two.He may give you the talent of speaking,singing ,acting etc. Find your potential and develop it.Dont blame God.Many of the famous scientist find theirs and developed it .Stop complaining and do something today.
