SECOND WIND
Physical fitness has always been important to me. I feel this body that was given to me to house my soul is precious. We have an obligation to maintain it. We seem to worry more about our house or car than we do our body. Some get completely carried away and only concentrate on the physical aspects of our existence but ignore the mind. In other words, they are all neck down individuals and no neck up. You know who I am referring to. If you have ever belonged to a gym or fitness facility, they are the individuals walking around in tank tops and tight shorts carrying a gallon of some sort of colorful beverage. If you don't see them, you can certainly hear them screaming, moaning and groaning like a women in labor. Further, if you hear them speaking to others they sound like Rocky Balboa in the original movie where after a fight he kept yelling, "YO Adrian!" You get the picture and I hope you get the humor. Aside from my attempt at humor and satire, whenever you are physically tired but you get started whether it's a workout or a project, there is this second wind phenomena. Scientists believe the "second wind," to be the result of the body finding the proper balance of oxygen to counteract the buildup of lactic acid in the muscles. Other scientists believe the second wind is due to endorphin production.
I believe that although, there may be some scientific proof of what is responsible for a second wind, stored in every one of us is a great reserve of energy. Energy that is available at will but, most individuals are unaware of it. I remember taking my 11 and 12 year old daughters to Coney Island Beach and amusement park in Brooklyn, New York last summer. We each rode a go-cart. After like 30 seconds into our ride, I hear on the speaker system, loud and clear for everyone in the park and outside the park to hear, the following; " Lady in the white dress please step on the gas!" Unfortunately he was referring to my 11 year old daughter who was holding the steering wheel with all her might, looking straight ahead and just rolling on neutral without stepping on the gas pedal. We laugh about it but, I believe many individuals live their lives on neutral. Not knowing that we all have that reserve energy to use at will. And, we fail to use it. At the very first sign of tiredness, some individuals would rather take a nap or blame it on lack of sleep or a restless night. Can it be that our souls are begging us to get out and move or create something because it has this reserve energy that needs to be released? Next time you feel tired, if jogging is not your thing, go for a speed walk and see what happens. I guarantee you that the first few minutes your body is somewhat feeling a bit tired and then once you get the oxygen and blood circulating, the second wind will kick in.
To me the most important aspect of a second wind is your mind. After you discover the second wind you feel like your soul has been cleansed. There's this spiritual connection to your source within. It is almost like your soul is thanking you for allowing it to release the cooped up energy. This is a real feeling. However, some individuals will never experience it. This is what the law of the universe is all about. It is an infinite supply. There is no such thing as limitation. We set limitations on ourselves. That is unnatural. We are given the tools to use all the resources on the planet at our disposal but some don't understand this law of supply. Everything we will ever need is available. It is our fault if we aren't where we want to be. Fear, doubt, poverty, illness, hate, discrimination etc..., does not exist. It is only a lack of faith, confidence, abundance, health, and love. If we have faith in this omnipotent all present universal source, we would all be living in utopia. Since you are reading this article, it tells me that you are ready to claim what is yours and change your life. You are ready to open up your mind and change your life for the better. I am absolutely happy for you. I cannot wait for you to start living a life of total happiness and abundance. Although, I may not personally know you, I can feel your spirit because we all came from the same place and we're all going back to the same place. I leave you with a poem on point titled "Keep Going."
"When it all seems too hard and you are crippled by fear, the best course of action is to simply persevere."
