The Good Life Is a Process

I deeply appreciate this quote from Carl Rogers, one of the founders of Humanistic Psychology.

“I have gradually come to one negative conclusion about the good life. It seems to me that the good life is not any fixed state. It is not, in my estimation, a state of virtue, or contentment, or nirvana, or happiness. It is not a condition in which the individual is adjusted or fulfilled or actualized. The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.” — Carl Rogers, from On Becoming a Person
