Rising to the occasion
Is praiseworthy indeed
Not for people’s celebration
But for fulfilling the deepest need
Maslow envisioned the pyramid
A way to self-actualize
And Mihaly was lucid
That actions rapture-ize
Living represents growth
Both physical and mental
Through a struggle to come forth
Like the moth out of its shell
Skinner may have understood men
Through shock therapy
But Mihaly’s insightful pen
Is about making you happy
Stretch and reach
To compel evolution
But the limit do not breach
And risk loss of motivation
Prozac maybe your pill of choice
Or the couch at your therapist
But Mihaly’s research provides
A guide to happiness, if you persist
When will meets challenge through action
With the bar raised at the right pace
Flow indeed will be the destination
The Karma Yogi’s state of grace
