What if we can't do the things that we think are impossible because well we think they are impossible. For example flying. What if a baby was born and a group of people raised it. But not normally. What if they had almost invisible wires connected to the ceiling making them look as if they were flying. The baby saw all that and what if they showd the child tv of people flying. The child would think flying is normal so would the child be able to actually fly at some point? S/he would think it's normal so if the only reason we can't is because of our mind would the kid fly?

It's a good theory and I definitely agree that some of the things we can't do are because we don't think we can do it. I love the quote, "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right." This has been proven time and again when people have done unbelievable things when faced with a threat to their lives or their loved ones' lives. Like a person lifting a car that has someone pinned, etc.
At the same time, I think the laws of physics are real and if our physiology prevents us from flying, then we can't fly. We may be able to jump higher or farther than anyone, but if we aren't built with wings that give us enough area/force to push down with and if we weigh too much, then there's no way we'll fly.
So I think you're definitely on the right track and we definitely limit ourselves, but not necessarily specifically with flight.

I think your theory is brilliant!
Applied to politics, it explains some very mysterious things.
Successful politicians believe that anything the voters want is normal and that it can be made to happen by passing a law.
I'm calling this the "Santa Claus Theory of Politics", but I'll name it after you if you prefer.

My mind is my barrier vs love. I try to love, but my mind says no and i would never trust my heart because of rejection and failure. My mind rules

you could think yourself flying all you want, but you would still not have the physical ability to do so... how's the pot?
