We must have the mind of our child within in order to grasp the deeper meaning of recovery. What is a child like? A child is new, untainted and curious. A child knows nothing of failure, of heartbreak, of death or other people’s opinions. A child lives curiously in the present. Let us make our goal to let go of the tainted old thoughts that hold us back. The thoughts that there is no love out there, that our dreams are not achievable, that happy endings don’t exist or that you’re just not supposed to succeed. Let us make it our aim to return to having the mind of our child within. Not forgetting our historical past whatever the circumstances, but understanding learning from it and not allowing it to taint our present moment.

Let us not know anything of failure and just proceed daily with the intention that we will eventually get it right. Let us not give up in frustration but instead return to curiosity and see everything that happens as a lesson and let us remember that delays are not denials.

Our recovery. When we meet our recovery of life with a new mind, in every moment we begin to move our perceptions into the magic of our child within. We begin to enjoy the journey instead of being terrified by it. When we have the mind of our child, we are humble and receptive to new information. We do not let our egos get the best of us, so that we can humbly follow guidance rather than thinking that we know it all. Having the mind of our child is the first movement, but once we do, we have now properly mentally prepared ourselves for our full recovery. If we enter our recovery with a tainted, jaded and cynical mindset, we will miss many opportunities and improperly label our intuitive voice as disaster.

Let us make it our intention to set out on recovery today with the new mind of our child within. Not throwing away what we’ve learned, but learning to reinterpret what we’ve been through so that it serves us moving forward, rather than hold us back. Let us meet recovery from a curious, humble, yet empowered point of view that turns disaster into grace, rejection into protection and crisis into opportunity.

You see, when we meet our recovery in this new way, life opens up. We begin to let go of what pains us and embrace what sustains us. We see everything in a new way and can receive, where before we have judged everything with a parental voice and kept out.

To be humble, curious and new in our approach, but still honour our intelligence will produce the highest form of living. This is the approach that enables us to manifest that which we truly desire.

Let us be willing today. Let us meet today with the new eyes of our child within. Let us decide to be recovered anew today.
