Your Thoughts Can Release Abilities Beyond Normal Limits
<i>In many cases, thinking that we are limited is itself a limiting factor.</i><p>I've noticed this is true in ever facet of my life.  When I was 14, I memorized pi to 50 digits with almost no effort.  Later, I memorized it to 100, then 200.  I realized at that point that I could memorize anything that I wanted to.  I memorize phone numbers, credit card numbers, everything with almost no effort and not using any mnemonic device.  It's so handy when buying something on the Internet to have every credit card in my wallet memorized.<p>Invariably when I demonstrate this to someone I get the, "Oh I could never do that, my memory is terrible."  I actually convinced a friend of mine many years ago that he could in fact memorize pi to 100 digits...  and he did and still remembers it to this day.  I'm convinced anyone can do this and the major thing stopping them is their belief that they can't do it.
