Human activity is continuously ensured by a set of personal resources that allow us to achieve the planned result. They perform a motivational function, contributing to the perception of active resources as accessible and of the requirements put forward as substantive tasks, not as a threat to balance. They are included in the processes of preventing and reducing difficult life situations through the motivational, cognitive, behavioral and reflective components of the personality. Respecting the principles, conditions and mechanisms of activity of personal resources will ensure success and balance in personal as well as professional activity.
