through. Envision the achievement of breaking through a barrier which everyone else sees except you. Feel the fulfillment of living your dreams before you even embark on the journey towards them. What limitations have you placed on
yourself? What has someone told you could not be done and you believed them? What traditions have you accepted be- cause no one has yet been willing to think outside the box or comfort zone? The next time someone tells you that
you cannot do something or that some task cannot be accomplished, I want you to remember Roger Bannister. I want you remember that Roger did what everyone said could not be done. And the moment he proved it could be done, he changed history. You are no different than Roger Bannister – you just have to think differ- ently!
So when you hear the phrase, “we’ve
never done it that way” or “that won’t work,” please remember the story of Roger Bannister. Then smile at that person and say, “OK - thank you.” Then proudly allow them to watch you do it. There are hundreds of stories just like Roger Banister’s. Your story is next! On the next page is another example
demonstrating how powerfully important the concept of thinking differently truly is. This exercise is also a practical activity that you can share with anyone whom you feel needs motivation, or a kick in the pants, to think differently. Share it with a friend, your family, even with your colleagues at work to start your next staff meeting.
Directions: Closely look at the nine dots. Now
with your finger or a pencil, simply con- nect all nine dots with four straight, lines while also keeping your hand/pencil on the paper. Do not continue reading until you have spent at least one minute trying to connect all nine dots!

ably have seen this exercise before! If not, you are not alone. I typically use this activ- ity in my motivational presentations for college campuses and businesses. To date, out of hundreds of presentations, not one person has ever successfully completed this exercise who did not already know how to do it beforehand. As you will soon see, in order to
achieve the task you must “think differ- ently.” It seems rather simple, but I ac- knowledge that it can be extremely diffi- cult to change the way we think about something. We literally have to reprogram our minds to accomplish a different result. The concept is simple – the application of it is not!
I hope you now understand that in
order to achieve unique, breakthrough results and to truly lead a fulfilling life and make a difference, you must think differ- ently. Only then, will you experience life and accomplish the dreams and goals you aspire to achieve and have the full poten- tial for. The power of thought is one of the most important concepts you have control over.

The first thing I did with it was to turn to the word 'impossible,' and neatly cut it out of the book."
