2hr Marathon Secret - Power of Mindset | difference between Kipchoge and Bekele
"My main message to the 7.5 billion people in the world is that no human is limited."
-Eliud Kipchoge in 2019, in Austria
"Under 2 hours... I don't think... (a) human being cannot do that[running a sub2 marathon]."
-Kenenisa Bekele in 2014, in Chicago
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right."
Henry Ford
*Of course, I am not trying to say that there is no physically impossible things. Such wishful thinking will not do any good.
There are beliefs and thoughts about the world and ourselves. Sometimes, they are empowering, invigorating, and get us to challenge ourselves and grow. But sometimes, they are self-limiting and self-destructive, often keeping us numb, stuck, and dissatisfied.
In the video, I wished to talk about these beliefs and thoughts that we set around our lives by default, and maybe get you to look at them.
Because whether you want it or not, our own brain and mindset set a framework around one thinks one can or shall do, and what one thinks one can't or shall not do, regardless whether that limit is physically possible or impossible.
It is also good to see if you have a growth mindset or a fixed mindset. It is a fabulous framework developed by a renowned Professor of social psychology Carol Dweck at Stanford University. According to Professor Dweck, when a student has a fixed mindset, they believe that their basic abilities, intelligence, and talents are fixed traits. In a growth mindset, however, students believe their abilities and intelligence can be developed with effort, learning, and persistence. We can see how Kipchoge maintained a growth mindset towards his ability to run a sub 2 marathon, while Bekele had a fixed mindset towards it.
You can read more about 'the mindset' through Professor Dweck's book : https://amzn.to/2ZP05gL
I read it twice and really helped me to overcome the fear of quitting my job and building a career of mine. If you are thinking about starting a new chapter of life or feel like you have reached a roadblock, the book will give you a huge value.
