I am personally big on people achieving great things in their lives if they put the hard work in and determination to strive for success.

I know this because i am living proof and my father and other mentors of mine are exactly the same in really understanding what great potential we have.

But to get yourself on the right track to success you need to believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself how will other believe in you.

Many years ago people tried and test to see how fast they could run a mile. Lots of people were successful in reaching the time of just over 4 minutes when completing the mile run, but nobody could seem to break the 4 minute barrier.

People tried so much that most people thought it was just not humanly possible, and our human bodies could not do such a thing.

A man by the name of Roger Bannister had the belief that this was possible and went through the stages of visualization training along with physical training.

He failed to break the barrier in under 4 minutes lots of times, but rather than throwing in the towel as most other people had done before, he kept that tenacious attitude and in 1954 he broke that barrier of running a mile in under 4 minutes.

The crazy thing is after people had seen roger break that record, soon after around 14 other people ran the mile in under 4 minutes too.

This was an incredible story in itself, just to understand the truth of using your belief system as your fuel to get you where you want to be and strive to success.

What brings a smile to my face even more is since then high school kids have run a mile in under 4 minutes.

So remember, don’t give up keep on believing in yourself and your abilities. We all have great potential.

All the best,
Richard Huntley
