Special thanks to Mish for sharing this quote. Have you ever felt that life moves this way, sometimes in huge spurts of achievement after a long period of dormancy?
I learned from a video on Jim Kwik’s Instagram feed that this is sometimes about limiting belief. You may know the story of Roger Bannister, the first man on record to break the 4-minute mile. It was 1954 and the 4-minute mile was considered the “Everest” of achievements for runners. It had never been broken. After Bannister broke this record, many athletes began to do so. Now the 4-minute mile is considered the standard for middle-distance runners.
This video from Athletics shows that wonderful moment in history when Roger Bannister pushed past the 4-minute barrier and opened the flood gates for other athletes.

That is q very interesting story about Bannister. His great achievement back then, is nothing more than average today. Yet, it doesn’t diminish what he accomplished.
Have a wonderful week.
I think so too! A four-minute mile is still quite impressive. I was a bit confused by middle-distance standard, but I think that means as opposed to sprints (short-distance) and 5k’s, 10’ks and up (long-distance). I love Jim Kwik’s talk I linked to about it so much too. He’s so good at explaining everything. Thank you for visit Drew. It’s always great to see you. ♥.
Always to great to connect with you
