"What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualization."
A self actualized person is the one who knows about himself in a way so that he can maximize his output. Self actualization occurs when you maximize your potential, doing the best that you are capable of doing. Again you be a self actualized person only if you know what is good for you and what you are good at. Everything we saw in the previous classes actually lead to this point only, to make us self actualized person. In this session we were given a few questions and we were asked to answer them. The questions were designed in a way to see if we are self actualized or not. Maslow is the one who is kind of an expert in this. He coined the characteristics of self actualized people and we use that as base to build on the theory till now.
Self actualization is considered to be that stage of life where you have no needs or desires left to satisfy and now you want to know about your full potential and you want to achieve something, according to Maslow’s theory. First we need to understand that among the five basic needs of human in the hierarchy of Maslow's theory, the self actualization comes at last when all other basic needs are satisfied.
Self actualization is achieved when basic needs are satisfied, so it will be difficult to achieve. I believe that things are totally different than what are shown, it is not that only in today's world self actualization is hard. It has been that way for ages. Since the dawn of man we have been attracted towards something or the other. Starting from the first man Adam to a kid looking at an ice-cream with puffy eyes, everyone wants something or the other. This makes it difficult for us to become self actualized. So we need a modern definition of self actualized person, something that can suit the reality and can be achieved by everyone and not just by see elite class of people.
