Second Wind: Decisions the Resilient Make to Overcome Adversity

by J. Clint Schumacher

Overview

You can overcome more than you think you can. You have a Second Wind.


You likely know the feelings that come with the questions: Why did this have to happen to me? How can I make it through this? Do I have what it takes to overcome this hardship? Those feelings come from busted relationships, failed finances, health challenges, career derailment, disillusionment, or the many other obstacles that we encounter as we navigate daily life.


Endurance athletes know the power of the Second Wind. A magical reserve that springs from your core to carry you past where you had once believed you could go no further. A compelling force that allows you to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Second Wind deconstructs the tools used by the super-resilient and examines the decisions that they make. More importantly, the reader learns how to use these same tools and decisions to overcome the obstacles in their life.


•Taking Control of Your Circumstances

•Connecting with Others

•Winning the Battle In Your Mind

•Building Resilient Habits


Begin to conquer life's challenges today! You can overcome more than you think you can. You can find your Second Wind.
