Sometimes all it takes is one person

for decades people believed that running a mile in under 4 minutes was basically impossible.

then in 1954, Roger Bannister did it in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds.

he didn’t just break a record.

he broke a psychological barrier.

and just 46 days later, someone else did it again.

after that, more and more runners started breaking the 4 minute mark.

the human body didn’t suddenly change.

the belief did.

sometimes the first person to do the “impossible” doesn’t just prove that it can be done.

he gives everyone else permission to believe they can do it too.

he didn’t just break the record.

he broke the belief that the record couldn’t be broken.

and honestly, i think this is what Abhijeet Dipke and CJP have done in India.

whatever happens from here, they’ve shown people that things which seemed impossible can actually be challenged.

i keep seeing people say that the government will finish these people as soon as elections are over or they are planted by someone else or these children can't do anything or whatever.

i genuinely don’t know what will happen.

but regardless of what happens politically, i think what they’ve managed to do psychologically is remarkable.

they gave people hope.

and once people start believing that change is possible, you can’t really put that genie back in the bottle.

personally very proud of Abhijit, Saurav, Ranka and everyone involved in CJP 🫡.
