Could you define self-actualisation for me? I think I sort of get the idea when I looked it up but I find it difficult to wrap my head around things sometimes...
In Maslow’s Hierachy of Needs, self-actualization can only be in process after other more basic needs have been met. It is the motive to realize one’s full potential, be it in creativity, enlightenment, knowledge, or betterment and improvement of the self.
"Everybody wants to be on the mountaintop, but if you’ll remember, mountaintops are rocky and cold. There is no growth on the top of a mountain. Sure, the view is great, but what’s a view for? A view just gives us a glimpse of our next destination-our next target. But to hit that target, we must come off the mountain, go through the valley, and begin to climb the next slope. It is in the valley that we slog through the lush grass and rich soil, learning and becoming what enables us to summit life’s next peak."
