spontaneity

We are spontaneous when we are at our genuine best.

To like many people spontaneously and without effort is perhaps the greatest of all sources of personal happiness.

Why not seize the pleasure at once? -- How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!

I wondered if, by the time we'd been together as long as Phèdre and Joscelin, I'd be able to predict her reactions. I wasn't sure I would.I wasn't sure I wanted to, either.

The erotic state _ again, a mixture of concentration and spontaneity _ is a hypnoidal state, probably the most powerful kind that we are capable of experiencing, and it is in this condition that unexpected regions of the self are revealed, as the majority of people know from experience.

A goal ensures progress. But one gets much further without a goal.

Some people are pragmatists, taking things as they come and making the best of the choices available. Some people are idealists, standing for principle and refusing to compromise. And some people just act on any whim that enters their heads. I wonder which one YOU are. I pragmatically turn my whims into principles!

Adventure is allowing the unexpected to happen to you. Exploration is experiencing what you have not experienced before. How can there be any adventure, any exploration, if you let somebody else - above all, a travel bureau - arrange everything before-hand?

We didn__ see anyone that day. We had no expectations. Everything was spontaneous. There wasn__ a single moment of stress. We laughed like crazy all afternoon _ though I couldn__ tell you what about. And there was definitely something in the air _ call it magic if you like _ because that was the happiest Christmas any of us could remember, which makes me think that perhaps, like luck, magic is something we can make for ourselves. It isn__ something you can buy. It doesn__ come as standard. And you don__ need to plan, or to overspend, or to wrack your brains trying to come up with some extraordinary way to celebrate. Because sometimes it__ the little things that bring us the greatest pleasure.

Tears have always been easier to shed than explain.

Spontaneity is great when the opportunity is there, but what I'm really saying is you need to trust yourself. Instead of checking and rechecking your camera and the lighting and everything else, just set it up once and trust that you've done it right. Then focus more on capturing the emotion of the photo and less on how technically perfect its composition will be.

Free will is the cutting edge of Creation, don__ you see? The word spontaneity derives from the Latin sponte, meaning __f one__ free will._ Spontaneity is the impulse, the purest expression of freedom, and the impulse wants to do whatever it wants to do. But you are afraid of what others think, others who are just as afraid of what you think, and so you pussyfoot along the perimeter of the free-will zone, wilting like a wallflower.

I said, but I have to go, there are so many places calling my name.

We can__ jump off bridges anymore because our iPhones will get ruined. We can__ take skinny dips in the ocean because there__ no service on the beach and adventures aren__ real unless they__e on Instagram. Technology has doomed the spontaneity of adventure and we__e helping destroy it every time we Google, check-in, and hashtag.

No matter how many plans you make or how much in control you are, life is always winging it.

Creativity is paradoxical. To create, a person must have knowledge but forget the knowledge, must see unexpected connections in things but not have a mental disorder, must work hard but spend time doing nothing as information incubates, must create many ideas yet most of them are useless, must look at the same thing as everyone else, yet see something different, must desire success but embrace failure, must be persistent but not stubborn, and must listen to experts but know how to disregard

Our Scripture awakened that most glorious of things, the spontaneous love our Lord so desires His children to bear Him, for it is what He bears them.

Show me a universal life manual and I will show you a ready-made scam.Life is spontaneous. Live and learn.
