Knowing What You Don't Know

By Jeffery William Long

Chapter 1: Embracing Uncertainty

Embracing the unknown can be a daunting task, especially when faced with making life-changing decisions. However, it is important to recognize that uncertainty is a natural part of life and can actually be a catalyst for growth and transformation. By embracing the unknown, we open ourselves up to new opportunities and possibilities that we may have never considered before.

One of the key aspects of embracing the unknown is learning to let go of the need for certainty and control. While it is natural to want to know what the future holds, trying to predict and control every aspect of our lives can be exhausting and ultimately futile. Instead, by surrendering to the unknown, we can learn to trust in ourselves and in the universe to guide us in the right direction.

When faced with a major decision, it can be helpful to remind ourselves that not knowing all the answers is okay. In fact, it is often in the moments of uncertainty that we are able to tap into our intuition and inner wisdom to make the best choices for ourselves. By embracing the unknown, we can tap into our creativity and resourcefulness to navigate life's crossroads with courage and confidence.

Inspiration for the book: This book was inspired by The Storm On The Sea Of  Galilee painting.  The painting depicts the bible store: Calming the storm which is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels, reported in Matthew 8:23–27, Mark 4:35–41, and Luke 8:22–25 (the Synoptic Gospels). This episode is distinct from Jesus' walk on water, which also involves a boat on the lake and appears later in the narrative.  2. We were also inspired by the song by Randy Travis Three wooden crosses. The most important inspiration came from my Wife Dale Long who has her father’s bible and her grandmother’s bible both were handed down to her and entrusted her6t66fv to keep the bibles in the family. 3. The Journey Line Series is credited to Lakeside Church in Folsom, CA

Embracing the Unknown

Embracing the unknown can be a daunting task, especially when faced with making life-changing decisions. However, it is important to recognize that uncertainty is a natural part of life and can actually be a catalyst for growth and transformation. By embracing the unknown, we open ourselves up to new opportunities and possibilities that we may have never considered before.

One of the key aspects of embracing the unknown is learning to let go of the need for certainty and control. While it is natural to want to know what the future holds, trying to predict and control every aspect of our lives can be exhausting and ultimately futile. Instead, by surrendering to the unknown, we can learn to trust in ourselves and in the universe to guide us in the right direction.

When faced with a major decision, it can be helpful to remind ourselves that not knowing all the answers is okay. In fact, it is often in the moments of uncertainty that we are able to tap into our intuition and inner wisdom to make the best choices for ourselves. By embracing the unknown, we can tap into our creativity and resourcefulness to navigate life's crossroads with courage and confidence.

Furthermore, embracing the unknown can also lead to a sense of liberation and freedom. When we release the need for certainty, we allow ourselves to be open to new experiences and opportunities that we may have never considered before. By stepping into the unknown, we can break free from the constraints of fear and limitation and truly live life to its fullest potential.

In conclusion, embracing the unknown is a powerful tool for anyone who is making a life-changing decision. By letting go of the need for certainty and control, we can open ourselves up to new possibilities and opportunities that can lead to growth and transformation. So, next time you find yourself at a crossroads, remember to embrace the unknown and trust in yourself to find the best path forward.
