Happy Monday to you,

It's that special time again for you to take a minute to stop and set yourself up for another fantastic week ahead!!!

So let me ask you, have you ever had a new idea or a goal to start doing something that is a bit different and then tell others about it?  What have you often heard back from them?  If it's positive support then fantastic - keep talking to those people :)  If on the other hand, they have started saying things like, "What are you thinking, you seriously can't do that!!"; "the time is not right for you to do that!"; "do you not think it would be too risky!" or "it's impossible to do that!" ...... - tell me what can happened to your self-belief and motivation to still go out and do it?

From my experience in coaching and training, I come across this a lot and what I often hear is that people then start to believe and accept these limitiations from others as being real!!!  The great thing for our clients' and students' is that we can soon get rid of these limitations using NLP Coaching techniques ... however just think about how disempowering it would be if you were to hold on to them for life!!

Well this week, I want to shine the light back on an inspirational sportsman, Sir Roger Bannister, who 55 years ago this month really didn't let those who thought they knew best affect his aspiratations.  As you may know, before the 6th May 1954, it was thought that it was impossible for a human-being to run a mile in under 4 minutes.  However, that was until Roger ran it in 3 minutes and 5.94 seconds!!  What's even more, following Roger breaking that 'impossible' record, 46 days later so did his rival!!!
