We are champions of curiosity, joy, and self-actualization!
When we speak of children self-actualizing, we might misinterpret this to mean that they do this by themselves.
self-actualization = fulfilling one’s innate potential

Self-Actualization
Six Characteristics of a Self-Actualized Person
ACCEPTANCE & REALISM: possess realistic perceptions of themselves, others and the world around them.
PROBLEM-CENTERING: concerned with solving problems outside of themselves, including helping others and finding
solutions to problems in the external world. These people are often motivated by a sense of personal responsibility and
ethics.
SPONTANEITY: spontaneous in their internal thoughts and outward behavior. While they can conform to rules and
social expectations, they also tend to be open and unconventional.
AUTONOMY & SOLITUDE: need independence and privacy. While they enjoy the company of others, these individuals
need time to focus on developing their own individual potential.
CONTINUED FRESHNESS OF APPRECIATION: view the world with a continual sense of appreciation, wonder and
awe. Even simple experiences continue to be a source of inspiration and pleasure.
PEAK EXPERIENCES: have moments of intense joy, wonder, awe and ecstasy. After these experiences, people feel
inspired, strengthened, renewed or transformed.
