Before May 6, 1954, no one in human history had run the mile in less than four minutes. Most people believed that this thing was physically impossible.
A lot of so called experts believed that it was beyond the capability of the human body to run the mile in such less time. In fact, they went on to say that a person who seriously attempted this feat would end up with lungs that explode and certain death.
For many many years this particular belief was perceived as a fact and during this period, a lot of athletes tried to break this barrier without any success.
However, a man named Roger Bannister, armed only with the power of belief and incredible determination, ran the mile in three minutes and 59 seconds on that date. By doing so, he did not just create a world record, he also broke a false belief that existed in the minds of thousands of runners.
To run a mile in less than four minutes was not possible. A year later many many more people broke the barrier and now this is common- place. So, what does it mean. It means the barrier never existed at all, it was just a barrier that existed in the mind, not in nature! The “impossible was accomplished.”
