Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.”

Too often we create glass ceilings above ourselves that we think are impossible to break through. Forever, the World believed that it was impossible to break the 4-minute mile. The next closest record, set by Swedish runner Gundar Haegg had held for 9 years at 4:01.4. But Roger Bannister was determined to break that record…and he did. In 1954 Roger Bannister broke that record, and it continues to be broken even to this day.

Today, Hickam El Guerrouj holds the mile record at 3:43.13.

What personal record are you trying to break?
