The "second half theory" states that when we engage in a competition, game, marathon or sporting contest this event can be divided into two half's. If we lose the 1st half but go on to win the 2nd half we win the entire game. It's VERY MUCH like life to have the odds not in your favor or against you. Finishing strong and having a better second needs to be defined in the mind and not by the body. The more mental, spiritual and emotionally connected you are, the more powerful you become. Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog.
Stacy mentioned, "why if the second half is more about mental and spiritual does it feel like its more physical?" The answer lies in understanding. Your 5 senses control your body, input is the language your body understands best. When your mind and spirit begin to transcend the physical senses, and override circumstances your body seeks to always bring you back. Current circumstances, ie sensation, is what your body knows, so it will "talk louder." Fatigue, burn, or your "tired" will kick in, its the minds ability to focus on the goal, and the spirits ability to stay in purpose that can ignite a FINISH STRONG performance.
The beauty of being physically tired, is that with your mind engaged and your spirit connected you're STILL a majority, and the best part of you can get you through the fire. If you based your "second half" on spirit and mind, you've found a key to create success of character. Character has staying power AND come-back power, never under-estimate your invisible self. Your invisible has the ability to change your visible.
To your majority!
