Ways Of Achieving Self Actualization Nyack Residents Should Know

By Kenneth Parker


Human behaviour is, to a large extent, influenced by wants and needs. Everyone in the world, whether rich or poor, will find a reason to wake in the morning in search of the desires of their hearts. Indeed, these desires are widely varied depending on individual circumstances. Abraham Maslow created what is referred to us the hierarchy of needs that are often represented in form of a pyramid. Self actualization is at the top of this pyramid. There are a number of characteristics on persons that have achieved self actualization Nyack residents may wish to know.

As a way of definition, self actualization refers to the full realization of the creative, social and intellectual potential of an individual. It is a personalized process because each individual is endowed with different abilities. To get to this peak of the pyramid, one must first meet a number of personal needs. These include their physiological, safety, love and belonging and self esteem needs.

Only a handful of people manage to actualize. This is mainly because most people are preoccupied with meeting certain goals for their entire lifetime. Persons that have successfully managed to reach this level have been shown to posses a number of attributes. Among their major characteristics is that they are courageous. They are not afraid to be pioneers in new frontiers.

Another important attribute is that they have a purpose. Having a mission in life provides the motivation to work harder at what we do and improve ourselves in the process. While the quest for to be actualized is more of an individual goal, missions leading to it are often for the good of mankind in general. Once we identify what our mission is, we need to consider it a duty or an obligation that should be fulfilled regardless of the challenges that come our way.

Actualized persons have also been known to readily accept themselves in spite of their flaws. There can only be one version of a given individual in this world. Even if you have some shortcomings, try to remain authentic rather than pretending to be that which you are not. If living with a negative habit or behaviour the goal should be to change for the better. This cannot happen, however, if the negative attribute is not acknowledged and accepted.

Having a vision is instrumental in achieving any given goal in life including the goal to become actualized. A vision is the compass which helps us to keep aligned to our destination at all times. It helps one to remain focused on the bigger picture and avoid unnecessary distractions. Such a high level of focus and personal discipline is instrumental in overcoming challenges that may crop up from time to time.

One should strive to focus on their personal growth instead of being content with the satisfaction of needs only. Personal growth usually takes time as it comes in small improvements every day. It is these small improvements that lead to perfection eventually. For this reason, the small victories should always be celebrated.

Actualization is the desirable state of having achieved all the dreams. It is journey in which an individual works hard to maximize their potential through doing what they love doing. Because we are born and raised in different environments, we need to realize that the pinnacle of success for each of us is greatly varies.
