Being impulsive and living in the moment is not about spontaneously doing random things, contrary to the common conception. It is not about taking off in a strange direction whenever you're bored, because most of the time this doesn't work. It feels forced, contrived, and unnatural.
Rather, it is being ready, having a good state of mind and resources, and then recognising opportunities and capitalising on them. Circumstance is the main factor in the enjoyment of life and you can only manipulate it so much. Sometimes you have to wait for the chaos of the world to send you a good flow, and when it does, paddle fast.
