Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The key point of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is realizing one’s full, unique potential (Krems et al., 2017). Self-actualization comes from the conscious desire of achieving and realizing your human potential through life activities (Nikadambaeva et al., 2020).

Detailed explanation-2: -Dr. Abraham Maslow defined self-actualization as self-fulfillment. Namely, the tendency for someone to become actualized into their full potential. This tendency might be phrased as the desire to become more and more what one is, to become everything that one is capable of becoming.

Detailed explanation-3: -Self-actualization is an ongoing process and not something that is finished once you achieve it. You can get to self-actualization alone or with the guidance of a therapist. Maslow believed that self-actualization is measured through peak experiences, not a singular moment.
