Abstract:
Humans have an innate tendency and desire to thrive. We want to grow, develop and operate at full capacity. The human being is helped to discover himself, to shape his motivational resources, aptitudes and character, so that he comes to harness his native potential towards a creative end. From a structural-internal point of view, human motivation highlights a great diversity and heterogeneity. Personality is seldom at first what it becomes later. That is why there is, at least in the first half of life, the possibility of its enlargement or transformation. Therefore, if a great idea from outside captures us, we must understand that it captures us only because something within us meets it and vibrates to it. In a certain sense, almost any state of fact that characterizes the organism is itself also a motivational state. A correct theory of motivation should assume that motivation is constant, infinite, fluctuating, and complex, and that it represents an almost universal feature of all states of fact that characterize the organism.
