Read below some Quotes from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur when we’re feeling stretched to our limits.
Flow is the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience is so enjoyable that people will continue to do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it.
When we are in flow, we are at our peak performance and creativity. We are also more likely to experience happiness and satisfaction.
The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.
When goals go beyond interest in the activity for its own sake, it is no longer possible to experience flow.
The greatest wealth is the wealth of experiences.
Happiness is not something that happens. It is not the result of good fortune or random chance. It is not something that money can buy or power command.
