Sometimes a lack of energy, a little bit of depression and an added spice of sadness is the best thing that can happen to you.

Often you have to reach such an emotional low, reach the bottom of your well and from that exact place find the strength to leap out.

When you lack energy, the lack of desire says that you are too comfortable; it needs another harsh blow in order to motivate you, in order to stretch your spring.

Sometimes when I find myself in this situation, I co-operate with it and allow it to lead me a little longer… until an internal voice says to me “enough! It’s time to wake up; it’s time to show how strong I am”.

Sometimes it is possible by thinking positively, exercise and a change in routine to come out of it in the middle and that’s also ok.

What is important is to flow with what works for you at that moment.

Sometimes you can change your internal conversation to positive, move your body a little, freshen up and once again get back on the horse.

But, if you feel that although you are trying to think positively and act normally, it doesn’t change much,

One must go with that stone all the way to the bottom; to flow with it until the subconscious will say “ok my friend, I have given you enough time to play; now I am going to lead you upwards. You are interfering with my ability to function…”

When this happens, suddenly you fill with energies that you don’t understand where they were stored a moment ago… you fill with something known as a “second wind”.

Second wind is something that athletes are well aware of. It happens when you think that you don’t have the energy to carry on and suddenly you get a new inner wind that renews and refills your energy reserve, suddenly you are flourishing, you are strong, you are capable of doing anything.

Each and every one of us has a second, third, fourth and also an endless wind that lies within

We are all winners! This is how we were created to be.

This is the promise that was instilled within us; it’s a secret that is found out by each one of us at the right moment.

We are stronger than any problem we may have or that can arise, we are winners.

I love watching the series “the biggest loser” because this programme proves that anything is possible.

There is a participant by the name of Assi that up until two months ago would sit like a “statue “ on the sofa in the lounge and his wife would have to put on his shoes and lace them for him. The main activity which he could take part in was eating. After two months where he was cut off from the world, was worked on both physically and mentally with persistence, the same guy finished a triathlon! A track where he swims half a kilometre, then rides a bike for 15 kilometres and then runs for a further 5 kilometres… after only two months of training! He has gone from the sofa where he could barely move to taking part in a triathlon and he does it big.

It just shows us what we really can achieve, no more excuses.

So it’s true that many of us are not facing weight problems like some of these guys, but many of us have other areas in life where we behave like “old Assi”, we lay on the sofa waiting for someone to tie our shoelaces. If you knew that within two months of setting your goal, determination, hard work, concentration and progress towards your achievement, you would also be able to take part in a triathlon in your specific area and come out a champion. Would you do it? I’m sure you would.

The most tremendous strength is inside you in a very concentrated form, it is waiting to be switched on, it can give you abilities and achievements which you have never dreamt of.

You must demand it, you must declare that you are able and to follow it through.

If these guys were even a little fed up, they wouldn’t come on this programme.

They got there because they stooped as low as possible; they reached the bottom of their well.

Many that watch them from home have been given inspiration (activation) and have gone through the same change independently.

A lack of energy, will and purpose shows that you are nearing a positive change.

It’s a sign, a wakeup call for you, to find the strength and to run forward.

The places where you feel negative in your life are the places where you have to “lose big”

You need to take that burden off you, you have put on yourself too heavy a load, its time you cast it from you. Its time to discover your second wind, discover your strength, discover that you also can.
