Term: Self-Actualization

DEFINITION:
Generally a set of practices employed to achieve, or seek to achieve, a person’s maximum innate skills, talents, and potentials. According to some psychological theories, self-actualization is actually a drive that everyone has. People who do not seek to self-actualize, therefore, are closed off to a part of themselves and may need therapy or psychological work to overcome this self-limitation.
