Remembering Roger Bannister
Who was Roger Bannister?
Roger Bannister was the first man to run 1 mile (1.6km) in under 4 minutes. This was considered impossible before he went and did it which begs the question: How did he make the impossible possible? And more importantly, what is the connection to vitiligo?
Key factor: Attention to detail.
1. Specific shoes were used and modified.
2. All training was done with the record in mind.
3. Personal sacrifices were made where a clear benefit would be seen in the race
What happened after he broke the record?
1. Suddenly and consistently other people also started to run 1 mile in under 4 minutes.
2. The mental block was gone and after Roger Bannister 1755 athletes have also done it.
3. New information was input in the collective consciousness
4. A previous human limit was no longer seen in the same way.
What does this mean?
1. We are also in a vitiligo “mental block period”
2. The vast majority of people do not feel its possible to heal.
3. The white patches are seen as something impossible to reverse and difficult to deconstruct let alone remove completely.
But what will happen if people start to repeatedly and consistently repigment their skin? What will that mean for Vitiligo?
1. It will dramatically defy the current narrative
2. Creating a new paradigm where Vitiligo still exists but it is not seen as something impossible to reverse.
1. This is the world you have the possibility to create with your personal investigations into Vitiligo.
1. Your contribution is important and will be valued by all the other people who have vitiligo.
Roger Bannister quotes
"The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win."
"The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom."
"No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable."
