TRUSTING IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE STEPS -
"When we trust
that there is growth
in taking action despite
our fear or uncertainty, we
are able to work Step Three.
Even though we do not know

(It Works, How &
Why, p. 20)
THE GIFTS THAT FAITH & TRUST BRING -
"... the proof that
love freely given sure-
ly brings a full return, the
certainty that we are no long-
er isolated and alone in self-
constructed prisons, the sure-
ty that we need no longer
be square pegs in round
holes but can fit and
belong ... ." (12 &
12, p. 124)
"He who does
not trust enough,
will never be trusted."
Lao Tzu (~600 BC) Chinese Philosopher & father of Tao Te Ching
