There is no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can.
You can go as far as your mind lets you.
The power is within you. It always has been. How far are you willing to expand the horizons of your thinking and stir that power awake?
There are no limits on what you can achieve with your life, except the limits you accept in your mind
Every man has seen the wall that limits his mind.
Take the great example of the four-minute mile. One guy breaks it, then all of a sudden everyone breaks it. And they break it in such a short period of time that it can't be because they were training harder. It's purely that it was a psychological barrier, and someone had to show them that they could do it.
Our beliefs about what we are and what we can be precisely determine what we can be
The mind cannot long play the heart's role.

We do have to use our minds as far as they will take us, yet acknowledge that they cannot take use all the way.
All limits exist only in the mind, and it is only in the mind that they can be overcome.
Why should a man deliberately encircle his mind with needless prison walls. No man can reach highest excellence who puts limits to his own thought.
People have to learn sometimes not only how much the heart, but how much the head, can bear.
Anyone who tells you that they know, they just know what happens when you die, I promise you, you dont. How can I be so sure? Because I dont know and you do not possess mental powers that I do not.
