This blog article will discuss how humans can self-actualize, which is a term made famous by Abraham Maslow in his classic book "Motivation and Personality". Maslow was a humanistic psychologist who was interested in self-actualization, how people grow to their highest potentials, particularly healthy growth. We will train ourselves to live fearlessly by controlling our fears and phobias. We will also learn how to try new things and spread more positivity instead of negativity. Self-actualization also has a strong connection with humanistic psychology or personal growth. The article will also involve the survey question found below so readers can rate their level of self-actualization.

"What is self-actualization? Self-actualization is a state in which the individual's potentials are realized to the fullest extent possible at the present time, and the individual is functioning as his/her own best self." – Abraham H. Maslow (1908 – 1970)

The survey question asks the readers to rate their level of self-actualization, which is determined by their aptitude for living fearlessly and trying new things.

"How would you describe your tendencies as an individual?

"I consider myself open minded. At times I've been labeled as being too childish or too arrogant because of my sense of humor. I am also a very positive person who likes to laugh and enjoy myself.
