ABSTRACT

Many people waste their time trying to fire themselves up. They invent all kinds of strategies to excite themselves into action. While this may briefly work, enthusiasm cannot be sustained over time through such gimmickry. “Flow” is a term coined by the eminent psychiatrist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Another “flow” experience is when the author interact with workshop participants about some cogent issue of character or personality that he believe can be life transforming. As described in his seminal book, Flow, it refers to state in which you are so focused on what you are doing that everything else but what reader are doing disappears. To the contrary, those who adopt philosophy of Unconditional Personal Responsibility see that their happiness is up to them, no matter what their circumstances may be. They live by conviction that, while their circumstances may be difficult, it’s their responsibility to figure out how to get around, through, or over them in order to create happy life.
