「要創造意義,關乎整合人的種種行動,組成統一的流程體驗,令思想內容建立秩序。僅是找到某一目的並不足夠,還要堅持下去,接受相關挑戰。當人矢志和專注地朝着一個重要的目標努力,各式活動接合成為統一的流程體驗時,人的意識便進入諧和的狀態。」
"Creating meaning involves bringing order to the contents of the mind by integrating one's actions into an unified flow experience. It is not enough to find a purpose. One must also carry through and meet its challenges. When an important goal is pursued with commitment and focus, and all the varied activities fit together into an unified flow experience, the result is harmony that is brought into consciousness."
(1990:6)
