we shall make as we ascend the scale of Being. It is an endless progression to better states.

A Second Wind may come to you in various ways, but never without the push or endeavor of your own mind, backed by the Spirit. That push is never so effective as when you press against an obstruction, against ill health, adversity and unhappy environment. Right there you meet your fatigue obstacle which is really the source of the Second Wind, for it is only by means of overcoming great obstacles that you get the Second Wind.

As I have just said, a Second Wind may come to you in various ways. It may, for instance, come in a sudden, inexplicable betterment in your affairs, or in your health, or in your peace of mind, or in your energy of accomplishment. Your world may have been upside down and in chaos, when suddenly everything will be righted, and just as you have desired it to be. This is an exact result of your mental push, instead of the streak of good luck you are inclined to call it. That mental push has tapped an energy level and in consequence a Second Wind has blown over your world, turning it right side up. I mention this because otherwise you might not recognize the event as attributable to a Second Wind. You will understand better how this can be when you realize that a Second Wind is a spiritual power or influence, acting intelligently for Humanity, when Humanity obeys its law.

So I find that you are really a Giant in chains.
