“The best moments usually occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
“Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s quote speaks to the idea that some of our most rewarding and fulfilling experiences come when we push ourselves beyond our comfort zone and challenge ourselves to achieve something that is both difficult and meaningful.
Csikszentmihalyi, a Hungarian-American psychologist, is known for his work on the concept of flow state, which refers to a mental state in which a person is fully immersed in an activity and experiences a sense of deep engagement and satisfaction.
According to Csikszentmihalyi, this flow state often occurs when we are engaged in activities that are challenging and require us to use our skills and abilities to their fullest potential. When we are in this state of flow, time seems to disappear, and we are fully present and focused on the task at hand.
Csikszentmihalyi’s quote suggests that by seeking out these kinds of experiences and pushing ourselves to our limits, we can find a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that goes beyond mere pleasure or comfort.” (pi ai)
