Self-actualization

is the pinnacle in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

Self-actualization

fully realizing one’s creative, intellectual, and social potential through internal drive (versus external rewards like money, status, or power).

Embrace the unknown and the ambiguous

● Not threatened or afraid; instead, they accept it and are often attracted by it ● Do not cling to the familiar ● “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious” - Einstein

Accept themselves

● Perceives self as they are not what they would prefer to be ● Shortcomings are not seen as negatives but as neutral characteristics ● May still feel ashamed or regretful about changeable deficits and bad habits

Prioritize and enjoy the journey

● Regard as ends in themselves many experiences and activities that are, for other people, only means ● More likely to appreciate the doing itself and enjoy it for its own sake ● Can make the most trivial or routine activity into an enjoyable game

do not seek to shock or disturb

● Unlike the average rebel, the self-actualized person recognizes: “... the world of people in which he lives could not understand or accept [his unconventionality], and since he has no wish to hurt them or to fight with them over every triviality, he will go through the ceremonies and rituals of convention with a good-humored shrug and with the best possible grace.”

Motivated by growth

While most people are still struggling in the lower rungs of the ‘Hierarchy of Needs,’ the self-actualized person is focused on personal growth. “Our subjects no longer strive in the ordinary sense, but rather develop. They attempt to grow to perfection and to develop more and more fully in their style. The motivation of ordinary men is a striving for the basic need gratifications that they lack.

Have a purpose

● Have a mission in life or task to fulfill and enlist much of their energy ● This is a task that they feel is their responsibility and usually nonpersonal or unselfish and concerned with the good of humankind in general

Not troubled by the small things

● Instead, they focus on the bigger picture. “They seem never to get so close to the trees that they fail to see the forest. They work within a framework of values that are broad and not petty, universal and not local, and in terms of a century rather than the moment.[...] This impression of being above small things [...] seems to impart a certain serenity and lack of worry over immediate concerns that make life easier not only for themselves but for all who are associated with them.”

8) Self-actualized people are grateful

● Do not take blessings for granted, therefore, maintaining a fresh sense of wonder towards the universe ● Have the capacity to appreciate again and again even if it is stale for others ● Any sunset or flower may be as beautiful as the first even after seeing millions ● Even a casual workday can be thrilling

Share deep relationships

● Have deeper and more profound interpersonal relationships with other adults ● Tend to be kind and friendly to everyone regardless of class, education, political belief, race, or color

Self-actualized people are humble

Aware of how little they know compared to what could be known ● It is possible for them to be honestly respectful and even humble before people who can teach them something

Resist enculturation

They do not allow themselves to be passively molded by culture -- they deliberate and make their own decisions, selecting what they see as good, and rejecting what they see as wrong. ● They neither accept all, like a sheep, nor reject all, like the average rebel. Self-actualized people: “make up their minds, come to their own decisions, are self-starters, are responsible for themselves and their destinies. [...] too many people do not make up their minds, but have their minds made up for them by salesmen, advertisers, parents, propagandists, TV, newspapers, and so on.”

are not perfect

There are no perfect human beings ● People who are great can also be, at times, boring, irritating, petulant, selfish, angry, or depressed
