An impulsive mood can make staying on track difficult today as there will likely be times in which your day-to-day goals do not coincide with your whims. You may find yourself making sudden choices that are not in accordance with your value or belief systems, and you may consequently begin to wonder whether spontaneity has any value at all. Yet consider that there have likely been many times in your life that first impressions served you well, helping you find your way into and out of a variety of circumstances. If you think carefully today about the direction your inclinations are taking you, your journey will no doubt progress much more smoothly.

Spontaneity as a virtue can be fortuitously integrated into our lives provided that we are willing to consider the impulses compelling us to think and act in certain ways from a practical point of view before we indulge them. This thoughtful brand of impulsiveness may seem less exciting than its more impetuous counterpart, yet both can lead us into a fantastic realm of new experiences. The former, however, protects us from ourselves by helping us identify those emotions and issues that can cause us to feel strongly desirous of those things that will not add value to our lives. We enjoy the rush of leaping into the unknown, yet this rush is cushioned by the knowledge that we are doing something good for ourselves. Today your understanding of the nature of spontaneity will help you zero in on those whims with the most potential to improve your existence.
