That final line really stuck with me: “Being resourceful gives you confidence you can figure things out in spite of your limits.” It’s such a powerful reframe. Instead of waiting to feel fully prepared or qualified, you learn to trust in your ability to adapt—and that shift changes everything. Travel has a way of fast-tracking that lesson, but it’s something I’m trying to apply to everyday life too. Thanks for putting words to that quiet kind of strength.
Awesome, Jon! Love the title! I wrote an article about uncertainty over on Medium. You’ve inspired me to bring it over here as well:)
Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm honored. Here is my post:) https://open.substack.com/pub/lessonsfromanomad/p/embracing-the-uncertainties-in-our?r=1ed0d&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

It's good to remind yourself of this, especially in times like today! Thanks for reading Katharina.
Great piece, Jon! Keep 'em coming! Great advice for me on my nomadic journey!
Of course. Thanks for reading, India. :)
