Self actualization
Human beings are preset to strive to be everything they are capable of becoming. Maslow said, “What a man can be, he must be.” What people are capable of becoming is highly individual—an artist must paint, a writer must write, and a healer must heal. The drive to satisfy this need is felt as a sort of restlessness, a sense that something is missing. It is up to each person to choose a path that will bring about inner peace and fulfillment.

they lose all sense of time and awareness of self (flow experience). - Lighthearted sense of humor that indicates “we’re in it together” and lacks
sarcasm or hostility. - Fairness and respect for people of different races, ethnicities, religions, and
