What are the motifs in Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi?

Adversity is a recurring idea. Adversity is a part of everyday life; no one is immune. It is how one handles adversity that reveals strength of character.

Adversity is something that each person must face in order to get through life. Adversity can be something as simple as a flat tire on the way to work to cancer to a devastating flood or fire. Each person handles adversity differently, but people ultimately end up in one of two groups when faced with life's challenges.
