There are times like that, Bailey. Times you
don’t think you can take it anymore. But then you discover that you
can. You always do. You’re tough. You’ll take a deep breath,
swallow just a little bit more, endure just a little longer, and
eventually you’ll get your second wind, — Amy Harmon

The fatigue of the climb was great but it is interesting to learn once more how much further one can go on one’s second wind. I think that is an important lesson for everyone to learn for it should also be applied to one’s mental efforts. Most people go through life without ever discovering the existance of that whole field of endeavor which we describe as second wind. Whether mentally or physically occupied most people give up at the first appearance of exhaustion.

Sometimes a fresh perspective is all you need to get a second wind on the revision process. Try viewing your material on a different medium; it will shed a new light on the inconsistencies in the dark. — V.S. Watson

When you undertake a daunting task, an adventure bigger than you ever thought you’d take on, you don’t get to know what challenges the universe will present to you on the way. You can decide where you will go and how much money you’ll spend and what your activities will be, but there will always be something unexpected, a hurdle of sorts, that offers you an opportunity to learn something about yourself if you take it in stride. — Cami Ostman

I walk and listen to music and 10 minutes will go by, then 15, and then I’ll speed up a bit. Once my blood really starts flowing, I’ll get a second wind and then I want to work out. — Steve Howey

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second. — William James

I certainly have routines in my day-to-day life that are important to me and still give me feelings of security and control, but the capacity to break out of them every so often as I travel has given me a second wind. — Daniel Tammet

Do you know what’s one mistake we always make? Believing that life’s immutable, that once you get on a particular track you have to follow it to the end of the line. But it appears that fate has more imagination than we do. Just when you think you’re in a situation you can’t escape from, when you’ve reached the lowest depths of total desperation, everything changes as fast as a gust of wind, everything’s overturned; from one second to the next you find you’re living a new life. — Susanna Tamaro
