Flow State: The Secret to Limitless Human Potential “The foremost reason that happiness is so hard to achieve is that the universe was not designed with the comfort of human beings in mind.” – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, “Flow.” That’s actually one of the most powerful truths I have ever encountered.   We are drawn naturally to comfort. It seems that, for humans, comfort is the quintessential state.   But the universe has a strange sense of humor. It feels like it played on us a cosmic joke where the most desirable state can also be the most destructive.   Comfort feels good, but ..read more
