WHAT DOES SELF ACTUALIZATION MEAN?
To actualize means to bring something from a place of potential into realization – to actualize it. It means to bring something into some form of reality. Self-actualization is the mental path that directs and supports a person’s innate desire to live out his or her potential. This means bringing that potential into being.
Self-actualization is an ongoing, never-ending journey. Once one commits oneself to the self-actualization path, the experience of fuller self-expression and self-fulfillment is experienced over and over again, as increasing levels of performance are attained.
More specific goals of the seminar include:
To provide a framework for reviewing and reflecting on one’s self-actualization capacities.
To provide attendees opportunities to reflect on and assess the extent to which they deploy their strengths towards self-actualizing, and to consider the blocks or hindrances that inhibit their self-actualization tendencies.
To provide practical suggestions on how to support and develop one’s self-actualization strengths and how to recognize and work with one’s limitations in an optimal manner.
In the end, all activity, whatever it might be, must devolve or manifest itself in action. Ultimately action is what counts. Action is the culmination of all things.
By embracing the path of self-actualization, one’s actions reflect a poise; an equanimity; a dignity, and a serenity that inspires others.
