But Shortcuts Are Dangerous; We Cannot Delude

Flow Is The Process Of Achieving Happiness Through Control Over One's Inner Life. The Optimal State Of Inner Experience Is Order In Consciousness. This Happens When We Focus Our Attention (psychic Energy) On Realistic Goals And When Our Skills Match The Challenges We Face.

Whether We Like It Or Not, Each Of Us Is Constrained By Limits On What We Can Do And Feel. To Ignore These Limits Leads To Denial And Eventually To Failure. To Achieve Excellence, We Must First Understand The Reality Of The Everyday, With All Its Demands

If We Know What That Set Point Is, We Can Predict Fairly Accurately When You Will Be In Flow, And It Will Be When Your Challenges Are Higher Than Average And Skills Are Higher Than Average.
