There are only two possible paths
1. Choosing the path of the virtues of the soul = Learning
2. Choose weaknesses that lead us to being attacked or harmed by the aggressor = Revenge

Choose from the STRENGTH1. WHAT IS YOUR STRENGTH?
We all have something perfect, something irrefutably good and positive that no one can question. It's there when we do, when we feel and when we think
![Page 15: How to overcome your desires. Learnings form the movie Se7en](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020206/54100e208d7f72aa0e8b45cc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2. DESIRE What is your desire, is it hard to get, and have you seen it in the someone else?
It is always right and good. Write it in positive. You can see it in the people closest to you.
The desire disappears when you have attained it because you become fulfilled

3.Now you have two options:
1.- Learn in order to achieve your desire and be in plenitude 2.- Let the revenge and weakness overcome and believe you can not

4.If you have difficulty exercising virtue, look around you.
The best master is near you. It is the person closest to you
Make a daily plan of learning 1% of that virtue and collaborate with yourself to reach a world of fulfillment without desires
