Embracing the unknown from "summary" of 360 Degrees Longitude by John Higham
Setting off on a journey around the world with three children under the age of ten, we knew that we were venturing into the unknown. We were stepping into a world where we didn't know what the future held, where we couldn't predict the challenges that lay ahead. But rather than being daunted by the uncertainty, we chose to embrace it. By embracing the unknown, we were opening ourselves up to new possibilities, to the unexpected experiences that awaited us at every turn. We were allowing ourselves to be swept away by the currents of adventure, to be carried to places we had never dreamed of visiting. It was about letting go of our need for control, our desire to plan every detail, and instead surrendering to the flow of the journey. Embracing the unknown meant being open to the people we met along the way, to the stories they had to tell, the perspectives they had to share. It meant being willing to step outside of our comfort zones, to try new things, to push ourselves beyond the limits of what we thought possible. It was about being present in each moment, fully engaged with the world around us, immersing ourselves in the richness of each new experience. As we journeyed across continents, we found that embracing the unknown brought us closer together as a family. It forced us to rely on each other, to support one another through the challenges we faced. It strengthened our bond, deepening our connection and creating memories that would last a lifetime. And as we embraced the unknown, we discovered that it was not something to be feared, but something to be embraced, something that held the potential for growth, for transformation, for a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
