Examples
“I had read in some of the psychology books about Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs—that we had these life requirements that ranged from the lowest and most basic ones of food and safety all the way up to the highest level of need, something called self-actualization.”
“Where self-actualization is the need to "become everything that one is capable of becoming".”

“And here's the thing: for every single person on the planet who has lost their way, I wish the same moment of self-actualization, contentment and celebration.”
“Wake up at around 2 P.M., hit the gym, chores, read various self-actualization books, siesta time, write write write, then hit the local chode bars at midnight.”
“Indeed, change, improvement, true self-actualization and so forth, all require that we create a new character.”
