What is this called???

Glass Ceiling comes to mind. Sort of the same thing but I don't think it's what you are looking for. Maybe this will get the other's juices flowing and someone will come up with it.

George Wright

I think it's a belief no one has done it so the mind believes it is so until a person acts powerful enough to challenge and old belief.

I guess you could say "What the Mind can believe The mind can achieve" Napoleon Hill

That is my thoughts on this.

These are all great ideas but not what i was looking for.. I have herd of it described before using a certain phrase. Another example of this would be a millionaire/ billionaire that goes totally bankrupt but in just a few years later have it all back i.e. Donald Trump. People like Donald Trump are accustom to making millions/ billions and knows it is easily obtainable so getting it back is easier that one of us trying to create that much money from scratch.

Shifted paradigm or paradigm shift.

Is that what you were thinking?

Maybe it's in this article. You'd recognize it before we would...

Belief System

It´s called magick. The idea that one can change, alter of influence reality by the by the power of mind and will.

You know what you know
You know what you dont know
You dont know what you dont know

Perhaps you are looking for the phrase Tipping Point

But its more accurate to state it in the terms of social proof.

Mark Riddle

I don't know if there is a term for it, but it is basically acceptance of what is and the belief of what can be. If you can't believe in what can be, you are stuck with what is.

There is an old saying that if you believe you can't you can't and if you believe you can you can. Which ever one you believe you are right. So until Roger ran the mile in under four minutes, it was a barrier. As soon as he did it, the barrior was broken and people believed that it could be done. Only Roger believed it until he proved it was true.

Roger knew he could do it if he trained right. So he had four different runners run against him for a mile and at the end of the first quater mile the second runner took over until the mile was done. Eventually Roger was able to sprint for the whole mile and then it was simple.

Maybe the term you were looking for is confidence.

Nobody will EVER know what TRULY happened. I'm sure it wasn't any magic, etc...

Look at mcguire, etc... That was because of steroids and all. SAME with bodybuilding.

You know, I ACTUALLY saw a program recently that said there was NO magic pill, and they said anabolic steroids weren't either. They said you STILL had to work at it. BULL!!!!!! If that were true, NOBODY would ever take them. They can make you sterile, increase cancer risk, damage kidneys, etc... AND, up until perhaps the 90s, they required a LOT of effort to cycle properly to prevent all sorts of problems. In the 90s, they made new ones that had FEWER side effects. Of course, they are now ILLEGAL in the US, so it is anyones guess as to how safe they are NOW! If the idea of steroids not helping matters greatly were true, science wouldn't say otherwise. Anabolic means "BUILDS UP"! If that were true, natural bodybuilders would be as buff, etc... If that were true, and HERE'S the CLINCHER! The people forced to go off them wouldn't SHRINK! Several HAVE been forced to go off, because of kidney damage etc..., and some equated the effect to letting the air out of a balloon.

Does it STILL require work to look like arnold, etc? OF COURSE! Does it require as much? NO WAY!

And there is a "woman" that recently won a race:

Caster Semenya Gender Dispute in Women 800 Meter Race :: Celebrity gossip juicy celebrity rumors celebrity scandals Hollywood gossip blog from Hollywood Grind

I don't know the gender, but there is obviously something wrong hormone wise.

So who knows? Was it the idea of a new record to beat? The idea of new acclaim? New training methods? New supplements? Steroids? Frankly, I bet it was all of the above!

Reframing, I do believe is the word you're looking for. (nice one-liner post huh?)

A little off topic, but I think I read somewhere that man was running sub 4 minute miles long before Bannister, like in the 1700-1800's, and there where accurate clocks/watches during this time. I think it was the French that ran the sub 4 minute miles.

When founded, the Olypmic Commitee ignored older records and started over.

I'm getting older, and could be wrong about all of this.

On topic: I agree with George that it would be called a "glass ceiling", or "BS".

It is NOT magick.

"I searched magick and got books and info on magic and occult?? Im sure that magick may have two meanings. Is there a book or resource you can suggest to find further info on magick?"

I don´t have my knowledge about certain things from books. But if you are looking for a book you could try "Magick in theory and practice", by Alister Crowley. But remember that Alister Crowley was a Satanist.

Defibrillator. Yes that is the what you were looking for.

"Defibrillator. Yes that is the what you were looking for."

I wonder what you mean. Simply put: Is our so called intelligence just some evolutionary byproduct or does it mean more. Did it start with Adam&Eve eating the apple and is there more to it? More than just some kind of ability. Some animals can run very fast, others can fly and we can think. Can it bring us to heaven or hell or can it turn us into sourcerers etc.?

""Magick is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will."

Is breaking mental barriers or breaking records magick, according to the above sentence.
I´m sure these people breaking records don´t believe they are practicing magick, but you can do it without knowing. Why do they want to break those records in the first place? For the same reason Adam&Eve ate the apple, to become something godlike? Something that can cause changing to occur in conformity with there will, their will constructed by their thinking brains?

Well I just did some quick research to see if I could be the one to give you the term you're looking for, but I didn't one. I did find that sometimes you have to do "impossible thinking" The one who can do that is the one who will break through the "psychological barrier" hel by everyone else.

Good question!

Paradigm Shift AND/OR Limiting Beliefs sounds right... Has anyone read any good books or info on wither of these terms?
