This process of the good life is not, I am convinced, a life for the faint-hearted. It involves the stretching and growing of becoming more and more of one’s potentialities. It involves the courage to be. It means launching oneself fully into the stream of life.

Carl Rogers (1902-1987) American psychologist

On Becoming a Person, Part 4, ch. 9 (1961)
