Actualisation used in a sentence

Actualisation in a sentence as a noun

Now how bad do you think it is for one's morale and self-actualisation? In a way, damned if you do, damned if you don't, isn' it?

You don't want to feel like you're being "handled" or used as a crutch for the manager's own self-actualisation. It's the whole golden-goose scenario - you don't want to **** it.

The pay off is growth, progress, self-actualisation. As an aside, this is why I question the whole gamification thing.

Finding out what is fun for you is such an important step in self-actualisation and a continued interest.

> The primary reason is that we keep defining self actualisation through full time careers climbing silly ladders where you can never stall because up or out. Very few careers paths are up or out.

If you're working 10 hour shifts with two kids and a tiny flat, you don't have much time or energy left to explore self-actualisation. You are living day-to-day, in a perpetual state of tiredness, stress and worry.

That would work if self actualisation would be brought by money. But it's not, it's something which is much more encouraged by individual freedom then by any kind of welfare, however indirect.

A productivity tool doesn’t sell on ROI calculated by hours saved, but on “freedom” and “self actualisation by doing more meaningful work and less tedious work”

The consumerist cycle is indeed a vicious trap in some ways when we place it in the context of self-actualisation. I’d like to add that another component or alternative to Terror thinking is our scarcity thinking.

Go back to Maslow's hierarchy of needs and self actualisation. It could be arguably worse to look back on a squandered life when you know it could be different, those who have no opportunity to change their fate do suffer, but in a different way - they aren't the ones causing their misery.

Most people get a job as a means of getting money, are to greater or lesser degrees alienated from their labour and are not achieving peak actualisation or anything close to it in their work. Those who do are living the dream and if you don't know anyone who does so it hardly seems a plausible goal, does it?

It's a pretty good example of Maslow's hierarchy of needs - the travellers are firmly at the self actualisation stage whereby they do not need to focus on fulfilling lower needs.

In a world where Social Media seems to be lacking any attempt to build stable civil communities, a reminder that self-actualisation is not top of the pyramid is a good thing.

Not necessarily a bad thing but there is something to be said - from a self-actualisation perspective - for having complete responsibility for your destiny.

Both instances are us giving meaning to self actualisation of individual drives be it preservation or propagation of genetic information or building something that will outlast you.

Happy to do so, here is the data I operate with: Maslow's hierarchy of needs is supposed to provide a prioritisation of needs - physical needs take priority over self-actualisation. If the model is wrong you would see many inversions. As in people prioritising self-actualisation to shelter - live in worse situation but get a better education.

But more than that, the '30s were something like the '60s in reverse: just as everyone over 35 discovered individualism and self-actualisation in the '60s, in the 1930s very many people really did feel a surging need to subsume their individuality into a greater collective, marching forward together. That urge wasn't limited to card-carrying fascists or communists at all.

A simplified version is this: It would be better if everyone was able to strive for self-actualisation[1] without the economic constraints that require people to work. In the absence of that, and while there are plenty of people at low levels on Maslow's needs hierarchy[2] who need to work, then there is nothing wrong in wishing that the jobs they did provided some level of value beyond being a replaceable cog in a machine.

The improvement to quality of life, health, friends, freedom, and opportunity for self-actualisation in general is profound. We support a large population and anyone in regular employment has an opportunity to access education, food and resources that are so luxurious to people of the middle ages that many would be incomprehensible to the people of that setting.
