The 4 Minute Mile
The 4-minute mile is not just some amazing athletic feat, it stands for something great; something profound that is almost inexplicable. When you watch the video and read the story it inspires something in all of us to dream bigger, to believe that all can be accomplished and that anything is within our grasp… and I mean anything, literally anything.
Do you believe me when I say that?
You may laugh and say, “haha, we can’t accomplish ANYTHING”
To that I say look at the world around us. If only 200 years ago, (which is really only the blink of an eye) you told someone that we would have this thing called the internet and we could watch TV on small devices called a mobile phone, what do you think the response would be?
Probably something like “What the hell is TV?”
You wouldn’t even be able to explain it that simply. You would have to say something like this:
“you will be able to look at this foreign piece of machinery and be able to see and speak to other people in it who live in another part of the world!”
How do you think that would have gone over? You probably would have been burned at the stake and called a witch.
Belief is a powerful thing when used properly. It has made “somebody” out of “nobody”, made mediocre talents great performers, created the information age that we are all benefiting from right now!
I DARE YOU TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING GREAT. SOMETHING BIGGER THAN YOU THINK IS EVEN POSSIBLE AND THEN TAKE ACTION AND WORK FOR IT. I THINK YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED, AND GUESS WHAT, YOU MAY EVEN INSPIRE SOME PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY.
