What is self-actualization? The dictionary defines it as the full development of one’s abilities and potential. I like to think of it as getting closer to a purpose driven and intentional existence. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is an age-old psychology theory about motivation and describes how to achieve self-actualization.It’s commonly depicted as a 5-tier pyramid with the follow levels:Physiological NeedsSafety NeedsLove & Belonging NeedsSelf-Esteem NeedsSelf-ActualizationThis model explains that each of these needs must be progressively met before reaching self-actualization, but through my own experimentation, I’ve found that there is much more of an overlap with each of them. We each hold different values and expectations of ourselves, and so our version of actualization varies greatly. I describe the theory in greater depth and use my own experimentation to explain this further here. Definitely check it out. - https://youtu.be/ApVoMsacKykFor anyone who’s struggling to figure out what your purpose is and how to truly live up to your potential, Maslow’s theory might help get you thinking about what self-actualization means to you and give you some more clarity on your journey towards it. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
