On May 6, 1954, the Roger Bannister did what no man could possibly do previously. Bannister became the first man to break the 4 minute mile in 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds in England on a windy day.

Prior to that day, it was commonly accepted that no man could break the 4 minute mile barrier. It was believed that the 4 minute mile was physically impossible. And it was commonly accepted. It was a fact. The reality was... The four minute mile was a psychological barrier more than anything else!

Power Thought… The power of your mind is incredible. Your “limiting beliefs” or “mental barriers” are profoundly more powerful than physical. What are you thinking about? Forbes at the time called the breaking of the 4 minute mile by Bannister one of the greatest athletic achievements.
