Spontaneous people will never regret missed opportunities or experiences. They seek adventure and do not fear taking risks. Some things spontaneous people would never do according to the document include never seeing a sunrise by spending the night on a beach, never exploring a new place without a map, never befriending strangers they meet, never falling in love with someone unsuitable, never breaking curfew for an amazing party, never taking off on a trip without a plan, never going somewhere they shouldn't, never moving to a new city, and never having a romance in a foreign country. Mentally strong people also avoid dwelling on the past, staying in their comfort zone, keeping a closed mind, feeling sorry for themselves, focusing on weaknesses,

10 RegretsThat SpontaneousPeople Will NeverHave
http://elitedaily.com/life/never-say-never-10-regrets-spontaneous-people-dont/
Spontaneity is an acquired taste. Don’t get me wrong, some people are definitely born with
it, while others develop an affinity for it later in life. Whether you were born with it or came
into it, it’s a restlessness that inhabits soul and lusts for new opportunities and constant
adventure.
Spontaneous people have a flair for the unknown. They seek refuge in the new and exciting.
They don’t like to let moments pass them by and see regrets only in missed opportunities.
They are the people who don’t live day to day but for each day. They don’t get pulled down
by the daily grind or the monotony of everyday life. They are seekers, adventurers, explorers
and the ones with the fewest regrets.
Unlike their counterparts, never leaving the familiar for fear of the unknown or comfort in the
known, they do not regularly regret things they did not do. Because those are the worst of
our regrets, aren’t they? The passed opportunities, the missed chances, the “what-could-
have-beens.”
What spontaneous people would tell you is that life is short and moments are fleeting.
Today, you’re 20 and tomorrow, you will be 21. Life moves fast and becoming comfortable
saying “no” to opportunities will only lead to a life full of regrets. You don’t have to crave the
center of attention or an adrenaline rush to be spontaneous. You just need to take chances,
to remember that life isn’t about plans and expectations; it’s about fleeting moments and
once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
Never Seen A Sunrise
Spontaneous people will tell their children of the nights they spent in Rio with strangers and
new friends, sitting on the beach until the sun came up. They’ve seen the sun rise and fall,
the stars ascend and disappear into the glow of daylight. They are no stranger to the
movements of the earth, the beauty in the moments. They have experienced parts of life that
most people sleep through.
Never Gone Somewhere Without A Map
There’s a thrill in wandering that can’t be found with your nose stuck in a map. Following
your intuitions and the beating of your own heart is an important experience to have with
yourself. Spontaneous people will never look back at life and wish they had just appreciated
where they were, in that moment. They will remember the small details and the streets they
would have never walked had they followed a path.
Never Befriended A Stranger
Spontaneous people have friends all over the world. They make friends wherever they go,
acquiring portals in all sections of the world. They are not afraid to reach out and touch
someone’s life, and let them touch theirs. They are more educated and well-versed with the
world and the people who inhabit it than those stuck in their own bubble of friends and
family.
Never Fell In Love With Someone Completely Wrong

2. 2
The pain of a broken heart is always worth the thrill of falling in love. Spontaneous people
don’t let the fear of heartbreak deter them from letting someone into their lives. They thrive
on moments of passion and true affection. They let love overcome their entire beings, yet
know when to walk away from it. They don’t regret past breakups and fleeting hookups,
because they do not put the weight of importance on them. They see love as simple and will
find it in the most obscure people.
Never Broke Curfew For An Amazing Party
Being wild and reckless is not a crime (unless, of course, it is). Sometimes the best times are
the ones that shouldn’t have been. A spontaneous person learns when to break the rules
and when it’s worth it. Spontaneous people don’t let societal pressures hold them back,
weighing their options only for a few moments, always choosing new experiences over six
weeks without a phone.
Never Took Off Without A Plan
Fleeing to the unknown is a thrilling experience that can’t be found in travel guides and travel
agents. Spontaneous people listen to their gut and escape to the unknown when it’s time for
a new adventure. They’ve hopped on planes and trains, letting a greater force guide them.
They will pick days to leave their hotel and find a new town or a new spot to call their own.
They don’t stick to schedules or guidelines.
Never Been Somewhere You Shouldn’t
The thrill of spontaneity is no greater than when you find yourself in a previously restricted
situation. Whether it’s the apartment of a man or woman you know is bad for you or the adult
section of your local Blockbuster, sometimes life is about taking risks and not always
following the rules. It’s those who defy their restrictions who learn the truth.
Never Moved To A New City
Spontaneous people understand that there’s nothing as thrilling as moving to a new city and
starting anew. There’s something beautiful about getting to know a new place and slowly
discovering it as your new home. Life is to be explored, and never leaving the town you were
born in is just a waste of all there is around you.
Never Had A Romance In A Foreign Country
There’s nothing more exciting than a relationship that must come to an end. Crossing
barriers and finding love in a person with whom you share little cultural similarities and
interests is a kind of love that can’t be found in anything else. It’s a raw love, a relationship
that’s simpler and truer than anything you will find until you’ve found the one. It’s a
relationship based on teaching each other and learning.
Never Made Plans In A Bar
Those plans made in bars, over pints of beer and stale chips are the ones you can never
replace. They are the spontaneous decisions you make to fly to Ibiza for three days and

spend the rest of your money on a one-way ticket. They are the schemes you hatch and
routes you choose for your trip cross country. They are the moments you are most free and
uninhibited. They are your desires as you laugh with friends and let the stress of life fade into
the frothy foam of your beer.

out there were women engineers already, she chose to study advertising at Penn State
University, which led to an attempt at acting and ended in a career as a comedy writer.

20 Things That Mentally Strong People Don’t Do
http://elitedaily.com/life/motivation/20-things-that-mentally-strong-people-dont-do/
I often write about the things I believe we all should be doing, trying or experimenting with in
order to maximize our success and happiness. However, it’s not always the things we do
that make the biggest difference in our lives; it’s often the things we avoid doing that have
the biggest effect. As human beings, we have a strong aversion to not doing; we feel that in
order to produce results, there must be an initial action.
However, because we are almost always doing something, piling on more and more often
has a negative effect, rather than a positive one. Among the mentally strong, there are
several actions that are avoided in order to produce the greatest benefit in the shortest
period of time.
These actions are those that the mentally strong avoid, and that we should consider
adapting as our own:
1. Dwelling On The Past
Mentally strong individuals focus on the present moment and on the near future. They
understand that the past is out of our control and the far future is about as predictable as the
weather this winter.
2. Remaining In Their Comfort Zone
The comfort zone is a dangerous place, a dark abyss where anyone who remains there for
too long loses his or herself entirely. Staying within your comfort zone is giving up on life.
3. Not Listening To The Opinions Of Others
Only the foolish believe themselves to be sufficient in all regards. When it comes to
brainstorming, ideas can’t so much be forced as they can be caught. A good idea is a good
idea, regardless of whether or not you came up with it. Don’t let your ego get the better of
you; if someone has great advice to give, take it.
4. Avoiding Change
What the mentally strong understand that the mentally weak do not is that change is
unavoidable. Trying to avoid the inevitable is pointless. Therefore, trying to avoid change is
pointless; it’s a mere waste of time and energy.
5. Keeping A Closed Mind
You don’t know everything. Even the things you believe yourself to know are likely to not be
entirely true. If you keep a closed mind, you are preventing yourself from learning new
material. If you stop learning, you stop living.
6. Letting Others Make Decisions For Them
Only you should be making your own decisions; you can’t allow others to make them for you.
All this does is shift the responsibility from you to someone else, but the only person failing in
the end is you. If you don’t have the courage to fail, then you don’t have the courage to
succeed.
7. Getting Jealous Over The Successes Of Others
When others succeed, you should be happy. If they can do it, so can you. The success of
others does not, in any way, lessen the chances of you succeeding. If anything, it should
motivate you to keep pushing forward.

8. Thinking About The High Possibility Of Failure
Our thoughts control our perspective; our perspective controls our results. The mentally
strong understand this and use this to their advantage. There’s always the chance you may
fail, but as long as there is the chance you may succeed, it’s worth trying.
9. Feeling Sorry For Themselves
Sh*t happens. Life can be hard. People get hurt; others die. Life isn’t all roses and
butterflies. You will fall off that horse again and again and again. The question is, are you
strong enough to keep getting back on it?
10. Focusing On Their Weaknesses
Although working on our weaknesses does have its benefits, it’s more important to focus on
banking on our strengths. The most well-rounded person is not the person that gets the
furthest in life. Being average in all regards makes you average. However, mastering a
certain skillset or trait will allow you to beat the competition with less effort.
11. Trying To Please People
A job well done is a job well done, no matter who is judging the final product. You can’t
please everybody, but you can always manage to do your very best.
12. Blaming Themselves For Things Outside Their Control
The mentally strong know the things they can control, understand the things they cannot
control, and avoid even thinking about that which is completely out of their hands.
13. Being Impatient
Patience isn’t just a virtue; it is the virtue. Most people don’t fail because they aren’t good
enough, or aren’t capable of winning or succeeding. Most people fail because they are
impatient and give up before their time has come.
14. Being Misunderstood
Communication is key in any properly functioning system. When it comes to people, things
get a bit more complicated. Simply stating information is never enough; if the receiving party
misunderstands you, your message is not being properly relayed. The mentally strong do
their best to be understood and have the patience to clear up misunderstandings.
15. Feeling Like You’re Owed
You aren’t owed anything in life. You were born; the rest is up to you. Life doesn’t owe you
anything. Others don’t owe you anything. If you want something in life, you only owe it to
yourself to go out and get it. In life, there are no handouts.
16. Repeating Mistakes
Make a mistake once, okay. Make a mistake twice… not so okay. Make the same mistake a
third time, you may need to consider giving up alcohol and drugs. You’re either stupid or
permanently high.
17. Giving Into Their Fears
The world can be a scary place. Some things frighten us with good cause, but most of our
fears are illogical. If you know that you want to try something, try it. If you’re scared, then
understand that being scared of failing must mean that succeeding means a whole lot to
you.

18. Acting Without Calculating
The mentally strong know better than to act before completely understanding the situation at
hand. If you have time to ponder over something and cover all your bases, then do so. Not
doing so is pure laziness.
19. Refusing Help From Others
You’re not Superman; you can’t do it all. Even if you can, why should you? If others are
offering to help, let them help. Be social. Listen to their ideas and watch how they do things.
You may learn something. If not, then you can teach them something and do what humans
are meant to do: socialize.
20. Throwing InThe Towel
The biggest weakness in all of humanity is giving up — calling it quits, throwing in the towel.
The mentally strong go about things in such a way. Only do things if they are important to
you; forget the things that aren’t important to you. If they’re important to you, then pursue
them until you succeed. No exceptions, ever.
