Welcome to the MWF Motivation Podcast, one of the top-rated motivational podcasts in
the world. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I come out with a short, to-the-point, no-BS
podcast designed to transform you from who you are today into who you want to be. There's
no fluff here, just life-changing content. My name is Rob Dial, and the podcast starts now.
Welcome to today's episode.
If you have not yet done so, hit that subscribe button so you never miss another episode.
And if you have not yet done so,
there was only a couple days left
to join my group coaching program
before I shut the doors for any new members.
So if you're interested in more advanced stuff
than just the podcast,
I always say the podcast is kind of like
my level one of coaching.
It's free, it's always going to be free.
But if you need more, if you're listening
and you're like, man, I need something that's just kind of going to give me the steps to go from where I am
to where I want to be in a little bit more in depth, well then send me an email,
rob at mwfmotivation.com. I've got over 40 hours of lessons in there. There's a group that you can
use for accountability, for motivation, for inspiration. We do book clubs in there.
Excuse me. So there's a book club that we have. You can join in the book club every single month
so that you're reading and learning with us. And then we also have challenges. So for instance,
we're starting a 10-day meditation challenge in the next couple of days. And that's going to be
a lot of fun to do is to do a 10-day meditation challenge with everybody to hold each other
accountable to it and to learn more about meditation. So if that sounds like something
that you're interested in, something that you need, send me an email, rob at mwfmotivation.com.
And I'll give you the information on it. There's only a couple more days for the $1 seven-day
trial. So you could try it out for seven days. So if you're interested in trying it out for $1, send me an email, rob at mwfmotivation.com.
So today I'm going to talk about, I'm going to do a couple, a little bit of a motivational pep talk where you can listen to it
over and over again if you want to in the gym or when you wake up in the morning, whatever it is.
So these can be something you can listen to over and over again to kind of, I guess you could say,
brainwash yourself into doing what you want to do and having the life that you want more than anything else. So today I'm going to talk about
how limitations are optional. And I'll just guess, I guess I'll just kind of dive into it. And then
I guess I'll see how you guys like it. If you like these, send me an email. I could do more of these
because they're going to be shorter than average, but I'm pretty excited about it because I've
planned them out pretty in depth. So here we go.
When will you stop holding yourself back?
When will we as humans start pulling ourselves back?
See, because limitations in this world are optional.
We decide how we are limiting ourselves, whether we realize it or not.
You know that people used to think that it was physically impossible to run under four minutes in a mile.
Scientists actually said that the human heart would explode due to overexertion.
So no one ever ran a four minute mile.
But there was one person who was willing to test out that theory
and his name was Roger Bannister.
But there was one person who was willing to test out that theory, and his name was Roger Bannister.
In 1954, Roger Bannister became the first human to ever be recorded to run a four-minute mile.
Want to know the craziest part about that story, though?
Within four years of breaking that record, 20 more people ran a mile in under four minutes.
So what does that show us? Well, did the human body magically
evolve enough over four years to finally be able to run that four minute mile? No. People finally
believed that it was possible because somebody had done it, proving that people were limiting
themselves based on what others had done or what others were saying. They were having psychological limitations.
You know, for thousands of years,
people looked up at the sky and were jealous of the birds,
thinking that human flight was impossible.
And then they believed that that was impossible
until the Wright brothers proved them wrong.
People used to stay up at night
thinking that candlelight was the only used to stay up at night thinking that candlelight
was the only way to light up the night sky
until Thomas Edison proved them wrong.
See, every groundbreaking human invention came
because one person decided to think outside of the
quote-unquote realm of human possibility.
From the wheel to the spaceship to the smartphone.
Think about it.
If you told someone 75 years ago
that you were going to fly a ship outside of Earth's atmosphere
and take a picture with your phone,
they would check you into a mental institution.
But now that is possible.
If everyone believed in limitations,
then nothing great would ever happen.
And doubters will always be doubters until they're proven wrong.
If you were to take someone from 3,000 years ago and drop them into the present moment,
they would think that they were on some alien planet because of all that we have created.
From cars to planes to skyscrapers. All of those things are because someone decided to think differently about their world.
Think about it.
All of the great things we could invent,
all of the worldwide issues that we could solve
if everyone decided to start living outside of their perceived limitations.
So now I ask you, what are your limitations
that you're putting on yourself, either due to others' projections or due to your own
self-limiting beliefs? What greatness are you holding back from yourself? Because you are great.
We are all great. We just need to give ourselves the permission to release that greatness
into the world. So from this point forward, don't ever say it is impossible. Replace it with the
phrase, I'm possible. So that's what I got for you today, guys. If you like this episode,
