Passion

Passion is the energy and enthusiasm wedded to a sense of purpose that gives life meaning and pleasure.
-Carl Goldberg

Flow - being 'in the zone'
-Daniel Pink

Flow is "the moment at which 'a person's body or mind is stretched to the limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.'"
-Mihaly Csikszentmihaly
