Live a Little...or a lot!

Happy Friday Blogfam!


Do you ever feel like you life is just one big schedule?  It seems as though majority of your time is spent attending meetings, appointments, work, conferences, or events.  When you're constantly busy it takes away from the spontaneity that life has to offer.  I believe that people get trapped in the natural routine of things that they don't find time to just either do nothing or to do something they wouldn't normally do.  I understand that structure is necessary in order to maintain a certain level of order in your life, however spontaneity doesn't automatically constitute disorganization or lack of prioritization.


Over time I have realized that when you prioritize, things will fall into place.  However, when you spend majority of your time trying to plan or schedule every single minute of your life, before you know it so much time will have passed and you may be asking yourself "where did the time go?"  I have always been a very spontaneous person because I like to experience and enjoy the unexpected.  There is nothing like doing something you've never did in the spur of the moment.  It's gives me a thrill and a natural high that I don't normally feel.  Not to mention, the funnest people to be with are the ones who enjoy life and all that it brings.  In addition to other factors, I think a lack of spontaneity is what ruins a lot of relationships.  People get caught up in routines and they forget that the element of surprise has the ability to provide that "turn on factor" that's necessary to keep the relationship spicy.  As with most things in life, it's important to have a balance or else you will end up wasting away doing the things you don't particularly enjoy doing.  This goes hand in hand with risk and reward; being spontaneous can involve taking risks so you have to recognize the potential rewards from your actions.  Personally, my reward tends to be pleasure and fulfillment in doing what makes me happy.


Quote of the Day: "If your structure is strong enough, a slight breeze of spontaneity won't be able to tear it down.  Have fun and enjoy life!" ~ Candice Loper
