Self-actualizationMain article: Self-actualization

"What a man can be, he must be."[11] This quotation forms the basis of the perceived need for self-actualization. This level of need refers to what a person's full potential is and the realization of that potential. Maslow describes this level as the desire to accomplish everything that one can, to become the most that one can be.[12] Individuals may perceive or focus on this need very specifically. For example, one individual may have the strong desire to become an ideal parent. In another, the desire may be expressed athletically. For others, it may be expressed in paintings, pictures, or inventions.[13] As previously mentioned, Maslow believed that to understand this level of need, the person must not only achieve the previous needs, but master them.
