The doctors told him, your heart will explode. Please don't do it. That's what Roger Bannister heard when he decided to try to break the world record for running one mile. And for the longest time, no one even tried to run a mile in under four minutes. Because they accepted that it was impossible. But that was until May 6, 1954, when Roger Bannister ran the mile in just under four minutes. And on that day, he made the impossible. Impossible. It all starts up here. Before it can happen out here. Everything in this world was once impossible. Until one person proved that it was possible. So what's your impossible? Because your limits are just decisions, not facts.
