“Only when a person’s skills are fully involved in overcoming a challenge that is just about manageable, so that one forgets everything else, does the activity become effortless and spontaneous”
— Mihaly Csíkszentmihalyi
Simplified Meaning:
When you use all your skills to handle a task that is hard but possible, and you get so focused that you forget everything else, the task feels easy and natural.
