The path to the child within is one of uncertainty, of stepping out into the unknown

The path to the child within is one of uncertainty, of stepping out into the unknown and of being able to remain solid even when we don't know what the next moment will bring.

So many people will never realize their recovery because they place certainty so high in their lives that they never break free and dive deep into the unknown. It's a rare individual who feels the fear and does it anyway. It's an uncommon person who steps out into the unknown and goes ALL IN with their recovery.

We've come to believe that when we personally take risks on behalf of our recovery that there is great certainty, not through facts, figures, metrics or physical proof, but through the faith we place in our child within. We have come to know that no matter what we will be taken care of, we will meet the perfect people at the perfect time and that right before huge breakthroughs are moments of big time doubt.

The goal for us is not to shy away, no, our goal is to step out even though we are terrified of the unknown. We are journeyers, we are travellers, we are Seekers on a Path into our own child within. We are not promised certainty from the world, but rather from our Faith. It takes a strong person to step out into the unknown, day in and day out, to risk being wrong, to risk making huge mistakes when the stakes are even bigger and to be willing to fail. It takes an even stronger person to fail and then to pick themselves back up and realize that failure is only failure if we give up. Instead, this strong person sees failure as a lesson, as an education and as a test of how much we truly believe in ourselves.

You see, success on the path to our recovery comes in two forms: the first is being able to keep going when you would normally quit (this is a recovery win), the second being self-realized enough to be free from or at least understand your fear within the child within.
