I Make My Best Life Decisions Spontaneously, And It's Gotten Me Pretty Far In Life Already

Everyone laughs at me when I say this but I swear by this…

I Make My Best Life Decisions Spontaneously, And It's Gotten Me Pretty Far In Life Already
Ashley Denton

My best life choices I have made completely spontaneously, with almost no time to think about them. Some may say that this is completely and utterly irresponsible, but honestly if it works, it works.

Everyone told me that I couldn't just wake up one day and walk into a car dealership and walk out with a brand new car but here I am a year later with a new car. My dream has always been to open up and run my own music and theater school. Yes, I always knew I wanted to do it but I had no idea where to even begin! So, one morning I woke up and thought:

"The longer I sit here and actually THINK about this, the longer of a period of time I have to talk myself out of this."

The next thing I did was go down to the county building and get my business's DBA (which is just a fancy way of getting my business's name copy write. Now I am almost a year in and my clientele has skyrocketed!

My most recent spur of the moment life decision was moving out of mom and dad's and getting my own place with my two absolute best friends. This choice was literally made in an hour-long car ride with my besties and we moved in five days later!

It just made sense. We all know we can rely on each other and we have an absolute blast together no matter what we are doing! Now that we are all moved in and settled, things are really coming together, decorating has personally been my favorite part; you walk in and you KNOW it's a girls apartment.

Pretty. Pink and as our parents call it "The Sorority House." I mean I can't blame them with that one especially with the huge "Saturdays Are For The Girls" flag we have hanging up in our living room but it's FINE!

Yes, I do realize that I am growing up and I am getting older, and this way of making life decisions probably won't work MUCH longer, especially when it comes to the BIG stuff like marriage and kids but I still have a few years. I'm only 22 and this "way" has gotten me pretty far in life already.

So for now, I'm going to continue living my life saying yes, and jumping into something two feet first, one risk at a time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
