When we forgive, the values of humility, nobility, and kindness take precedence over pride, resentment, and anger. The former arise from love, and the latter, from hatred. But as you will see in the next reflection ...

Motivation is an internal state that activates, directs and maintains the behavior of the person towards specific goals or ends; It is the impulse that moves the person to carry out certain actions and persist in them for their completion. Motivation is what gives energy and direction to behavior, it is the cause of behavior. Motivation is a process that goes through several phases. Initially the person anticipates that he will feel good (or stop feeling bad) if he achieves a goal. In a second time, he is activated and begins to do things to achieve that goal. While he is walking towards her, he will evaluate if he is on the right track ...
