“If history is any guide, much of what we take for granted simply isn’t
true.” John Hagelin, PhD, “What the Bleep Do We Know”
Consider these changing beliefs:
�� The Earth was flat – now it’s round.
�� The Earth was the center of the Solar System – now it’s the Sun.
Consider the four-minute mile. It was once thought to be the physical limit of the human body.
On May 6, 1954, Englishman Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four-minute mile in recorded history at 3 minutes 59.4 seconds. Six weeks later, Australian John Landy, followed suit with a run of 3 minutes and 58 seconds. Now the standard of all professional middle distance runners.
�� The four-minute mile was impossible – now it’s a standard.
“Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.”Ralph Blum
�� What beliefs do you have about your past that are not necessarily true for your present or your future? For example, was there a time when you found something difficult that, if you tried it again now, might not seem so hard?
�� Why have you held onto those beliefs?
�� What habits do you feel are trapping you?
�� What could you do about them?
