NURSING.com,
I don’t understand pharmacology . . .
Does that sound like something that has run through your head before? Imagine if we changed that to:
I don’t understand pharmacology . . . yet
Learning to apply the word “yet” to our view of ourselves is a powerful way to find an increased ability to grow and accept
ourselves.
Now I want to share with you one of the MOST powerful stories I have ever heard about the power of MINDSET.
May 6th, 1954
It was a Thursday in Oxford, England, and in one moment an entire mindset was changed, resulting in a huge shift that is still
impacting us as humans TODAY.
So what was the Mindset that had changed??
Before that day in May, it was a long-held belief that humans were physically incapable of running a mile in less than 4 minutes.
Not only did we think it impossible, but we truly believed that you would die if you ran a 4 min mile.
The person who broke the 4-min mile was named Roger Banister.

And as amazing as his accomplishment was, what I find truly fascinating is what happened 46 days later, another guy - John Landy -
broke the 4-minute mile as well.
In the 70 years since this mindset was broken, over 1,700 more people have done it. A mile has now been run in 3 minutes and 43
seconds.
In the 70 years BEFORE May 6th, 1954, NOT ONE person did it.
Now, over 1,700 people have done it.
That is the POWER of MINDSET.
If you want to hear the rest of the story you can read all of it here.
What I want you guys to know, what I need you to take away from this, is that you CAN do this!
We KNOW you can.
Happy Nursing!
