the power of belief.

i did it too.

i used to look at the superstars on TV. Film stars, rock stars, sports stars. idolise them to the point where what they achieved seemed nothing less then impossible. they were chosen by a high force of the universe to be special. successful. but none of these so-called stars, heroes even, got to where they are without failure.

hard work.

determination.

and for every one person that supported them, 100's doubted them.

Who thought it were possible for Michael Jordan to fly the way he did? For Lance Armstrong to dominate the world of cycling after surviving cancer, one, two, three times? Who thought it were possible for a black man of African decent with a muslim sounding name to become the President of the most powerful country in the world.

Don't sit there and tell me your a believer, because we all know you doubted them too.

But the real question here is, why? Why did you doubt the dreams of another man? Why did you think it impossible to achieve these great heights?

Maybe because it had never been done before?

Maybe because you could never conceive achieving such greatness?

Maybe because it stretches into the realm of what you are convinced is unachievable.

If we only dreamed to follow into the footsteps of others we would never progress. as a species or as an individual.

we are destined to rise above our forefathers and be the absolute best we can be.

Destined to rise above the crowd.

Others may call me crazy, others call me a dreamer. but i believe there is little that we can not achieve. we all hear the stories about the wife who lifts off the tractor that fell on her husband with her bare hands. and we all think, 'yeah right, i don't believe that'. but who are you to doubt such power. we are restricted in this life to our own set of beliefs. and that low set of beliefs keeps up from our true potential.

studies have shown that in a life threatening emergency the chemicals produced in our bodies can give us the power to run faster then Usian Bolt, jump higher then Michael Jordan, be stronger then Muhammad Ali.

now I'm not saying we can fly, as long as we truly believed it. I'm in no position to make that claim. but why cant we live up too and surpass these great victories. their legendary status. these seemingly impossible records.

records, after all, are made to be broken.

Believe.
