The term for the use of free will is personal agency. Personal agency refers to a person’s life choices and the paths that the individual goes down, along with the consequences from these actions (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). This theory assumes that all people are basically good inside and that all individuals have an instinctual need to improve themselves, as well as the world around them. Included in the humanistic theory is the emphasis on the personal value of one’s worth, the uniqueness of individual values, and the innovative spirit of human beings. The method is optimistic in nature and concentrates on virtuous human capabilities to prevail over pain, deprivation, and hopelessness (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013).

Since the true path to happiness, according to Epictetus, is the attainment of virtue, we can all become happier by improving ourselves, whether morally or intellectually. Furthermore, Epictetus' philosophy of happiness would lead us to live less stressful lives if we came to worry about only that which we can control. Still, while I admire Epictetus and his philosophy, I do not believe that most of us could be happy purely through the attainment of virtue. I believe that social support and some level of material possessions are necessary for happiness; we cannot forever strive only for virtue. I do, however, believe that Epictetus had a strong point when he asserted that we should only, rationally-speaking, worry about what we can change -- what good is there in worrying about things we cannot

Everyone has a fundamental need to feel appreciated. Simply acknowledging that someone is doing a good job, will confirm to them that their work is valued, which will help to further motivate them to keep producing quality results in the future.

This will create a healthy competitive work environment, and all it would take would be a simple “thank you” or “job well
A bunch of performers gathered together to just do what they enjoy and raise money for a cause that is very important. This shows the fact that they are very good hearted in nature and wish to do for others. While they may enjoy doing it, that doesn’t take away from the fact that it is a very important cause, and they very much helped contribute to it. According to Healthy Personality, humans naturally want to improve their surroundings and help the world, and I feel that’s exactly what the individuals did at this program.
