Actualizing Tendency Inborn predisposition to seek the fullest
expression of one’s abilities
"What a man can be, he must be. This need we may call self-actualization…It refers to the desire for self-fulfillment, namely, to the tendency for him to become actualized in what he is potentially. 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.“ Abraham Maslow
