Popis: From this researcher’s perspective an essential component of rigorous inquiry is the ability of the researcher to provide a transparent accounting of his/her journey throughout the research process. In keeping with this belief this researcher’s personal reflections of, and insights gleaned from, his experience into the world of research in general, and the human becoming school of thought in particular, are presented. He offers personal insights into the lived experience of completing a Parsean study on the structure of taking life day-by-day as a universal lived experience of health. Throughout this research process a number of insights have been gleaned which include the importance of adequate preparation in conducting research, the role of the researcher, preparedness to work with uncertainty, and achieving authentic rigor.
