On Spontaneity  

 

Remember spontaneity?  Although it may seem like a long-lost acquaintance or a even a close friend, spontaneity still exists.  In theory and in real life.

 

A quick search of quotes on the subject brought many that dealt with comedy as well as those that are entertainment-oriented.  That certainly made sense to me because I often associate spontaneity with laughter.  Genuine and natural laughter.  This quote from a bit of a different source is a ponder-worthy one in my opinion.   

 

If the mind is calm,

your spontaneity and honest thoughts appear. 

You become more spontaneous

How many people have a "Jolly Good Fellow" job title?  Meng did and I think thats nice.

 

Happy Saturday.  Make it a jolly good one.

Brian England - such moments are nice when they happen.  Especially with children who can be quite honest with their emotions.

Spontaneity speaks of fun to me, unless the phrase "Hold my beer," precedes it. Lol.

Happy Saturday, Michael. I am a big fan of spontaneity. What's at the top of your mind or tip of your tongue.

Hi  Michael,  We sure do have a lot of planning in our daily lives - especially for work.  So, when we have some free time - how nice it is to be able to be spontaneous.

Morning Michael.

During this time, my wife and I practice it on a daily basis.  Like today, I'm sure we'll go or do something on a moments notice.

Love the wisdom and agree that spontaneity is associated with calm, Michael. I associate it with creativity as well - some people have it, some don't!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - I think when a certain calmness is part of the scenario, people can become in tune with their spontaneous side because you are open to the natural flow of being.

I'm a planner by nature...no surprise there. However, I do enjoy a spontaneous adventure now and then!
