I believe that in order to instil big life changes, you can&#8217;t possibly have all the answers before you get started; a general plan, an intuitive gut feeling, and a leap of faith is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But where is the line between taking a leap of faith responsibly, and doing so in such a way that you are ruining possibilities for your future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Because sometimes, we make bad decisions. What if your leap of faith is a bad one? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post was originally published in 2012. It has since been updated for accuracy of links and content.<\/em><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When a Leap of Faith is a Bad Idea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Any leap of faith \u2013 good, bad, or otherwise \u2013 involves fear<\/strong>. That&#8217;s what makes it the leap that it is&#8230;.you know you need to take a step, but you can&#8217;t see the ground below where your feet are about to go. It&#8217;s the proverbial \u201cIndiana Jones\u201d moment, where you must trust that there will be something to catch you&#8230;as long as you take that step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I believe a leap of faith can be misdirected if you are unnecessarily burning bridges behind you<\/strong>. Although you need to put full confidence in the path ahead when you make a leap of faith, I also believe that having options is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I took my leap of faith into the world of full-time travel, I left doors open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I invested the proceeds from selling my stuff so that I&#8217;d always have the cash to set up a home again whenever (and wherever) I chose.<\/li><li>I made sure I had no debts.<\/li><li>I even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/how-i-became-the-professional-hobo-part-ii-the-logistics\/\">left the door open<\/a> to step back into my financial planning career with relative ease (despite the fact that I was pretty sure I wouldn&#8217;t retrace my steps as such).<br \/><br \/>(<em>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/managing-your-money\/\">Financial Planning for Travelers<\/a>)<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So even if things went totally awry in my travels, I knew I would not have irrevocably ruined my life or any part thereof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Starting over is okay. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Digging yourself out of a hole that was avoidable is not. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/p612790715-3.jpg\" alt=\"a tree growing in the wind; flexibility and strength\"\/><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When a Leap of Faith is a Good Idea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like I said before, <strong>fear is good<\/strong>. It keeps us alert. For me, the fear that accompanies a (good) leap of faith is like butterflies in my tummy. The same butterflies you get when you are about to go on a hot date or are about to do something exciting and different and don&#8217;t know where it will lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My (good) leaps of faith are also accompanied by a strong intuitive sense that what I&#8217;m doing is right<\/strong>. In my journey to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/how-i-became-the-professional-hobo-part-i-the-dream-the-decision\/\">becoming The Professional Hobo<\/a>, I had a lifelong inner voice that insisted there was something else out there for me. When I finally made the decision to travel full-time, as counter-intuitive as it may have seemed from the outside, my restless inner voice was finally quelled; and with that, I knew I was doing the right thing.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intuition, and \u201cKnowing\u201d the Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not a strong connection with your own inner voice and intuition is required for a leap of faith to be successful, I don&#8217;t know. But I would suspect that anybody who has taken a big leap of faith has had some sort of inner confidence that things will work out just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>None of us can see the future. There is no light strong enough to illuminate the path ahead fully.<\/strong> Besides which, where would be the fun in life&#8217;s journey if you knew all the answers before you began?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/chilling-rainforest-scenery.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/chilling-rainforest-scenery-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"light on the path ahead\" class=\"wp-image-3591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/chilling-rainforest-scenery-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/chilling-rainforest-scenery.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>I was recently asked the question \u201cif you knew then what you know now, what would you do differently?\u201d I have no answer for this.
