Self-actualization 

In layman's terms, self-actualization is when you have reaped the maximum potential out of your personal talents, abilities, creativities and ambitions. Self-actualization only happens when all your lower primal needs have been met (e.g. physiological needs, emotional needs).

While self-actualization initially paints a pretty picture inside your head, do not be fooled as the journey is actually quite excruciating. In order to become fully self-actualized you'd have to push yourself to the limits. You'd have to devote yourself solely towards your ambitions and talents, no slacking or fun and games. The world's biggest entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs were 100% self-actualized, but boy they were under a lot of stress and often overworked to the core.

In summary, self-actualization is a very good thing, but it's not for the weak-minded.

Me in first year psych: *after learning about the concept* Wow I want to achieve self-actualization!!!

Me in my fourth year: *suddenly realizes that self-actualization takes hard work and pure dedication* Ehh I think I'll just live a chill life

Self-actualization 

In Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the highest need. This is the need to achieve one’s full potential

Last night, after fucking my girlfriend and realizing how far I’ve come from my incel days, I realized that I achieved self-actualization.

Self actualization 

The kind of madness and arrogance that pushes someone to strive after perfection, being the best they can be. To be self actualized, one must emerge from their basal immaturity and embrace a new order of thought and action. The prudent recognize it to be a vane pursuit, but still indulge it for the dividends it pays in advance.

All the intellectuals old including Sigmund Freud , may be considered to have achieved self actualization for the achievements they made but at what cost one may ask. Sadness and rejection. Condemned to a life of solitude.

self actualization 

A yuppie word for bullshit.

The kids had been hit by self actualization, because their teachers said so and then proceeded to chase them with it.

self-actulisation 

Incomplete self-actualisation that did not originate from a or from the word go

Self-actulisation can be as slow as Maslow if not actualised properly initially.

Ethno-Cultural-Self-Actualizationism 

Known by the Acronym ECAS (pronounced ee-kas) Coined by, Reuel-Azriel, in his book “Don’t Call Me Black, Call Me Bulan.

Ethno-Cultural-Self-Actualizationism" is a term that combines the concepts of ethno (referring to ethnicity), cultural (referring to culture), and self-actualizationism (referring to the process of achieving one's full potential) into a single word.

This term implies a focus on the exploration and development of cultural and ethnic identity as a means of achieving personal growth and fulfillment. It suggests a process of self-exploration and transformation that involves embracing and celebrating one's cultural heritage and identity, while also striving to reach one's full potential as an individual.

Many individuals find that practicing ethno-cultural-self-actualizationism helps them better understand and appreciate their cultural roots, while also empowering them to pursue their personal goals with a strong sense of identity and purpose.
