Overcomers Lead the Way

Posted by admin on October 11, 2009

Since time began, running a mile in less than 4 minutes was thought to be physically impossible.  However, on May 6, 1954, Richard Bannister ran a mile in 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds.

Interestingly, what had been impossible now became possible for other runners and within 56 days, John Landy ran a mile in 3 minutes, 57.9 seconds.  By the end of 1957, 16 other runners had broken the 4 minute mile.

What had changed?  It wasn´t a physical breakthrough as much as it was a psychological breakthrough.  Once the challenge was overcome, it paved the way for others to follow.

Isn´t that precisely what overcomers do?  They lead the way, they open the doors and by example, change the programs and beliefs of others as to what is truly possible.

A change in thought can literally change lives.  As we overcome in our own lives, it is empowering to know that we can positively affect others and help them to see what is possible in their lives.

We may not be on the front cover of newspapers all over the world like Richard Bannister was when he did the seemingly impossible in the sports arena.  However, for every challenge, obstacle or problem we overcome, we affect the vibration of the planet to the good, we inspire others and we remove the limiting beliefs that stop us and others from living our dreams.
