A spiritualist, on the other hand, might associate the 'self' with the soul, concluding that 'self' actualization refers to eradicating grittiness of the soul via prayer, godly deeds, and other spiritual activities such as charity and repentance. In a colloquial sense, 'self' refers to the person him or herself that the individual has in mind when referring to the 'I', namely the personal being. In that colloquial sense, I perceive 'self'-actualization as referring to the endeavor to make the utmost of all the gifts granted me, whilst, simultaneously, smoothing away my negative (i.e. self-destructive) habits, so that I can become a better instrument for fulfilling my life's objectives to the optimum that I can.
D. How will you know if you are self-actualized?
I think that self-actualization is an ongoing process. I will never be self-actualized in the past tense for that signifies having reached the end of my existence. I hope, at the end of my life, to have reached self-actualization, but then I will not realize that for I will be dead. As regards the ongoing process of self-actualization, I see that as a consistent evaluation and reevaluation of my goals, as well as a persistent aim to better...
More specifically, I would categorize that as demarcating my existence into the following segments: spiritual, family, vocational, social, extra-curricular (for instance, hobbies), financial, physical, and ensuring that I maintain each of these personal categories to the optimum of my ability.
E. Do all people have the same goals?
People, being different, necessarily do not all have the same goals. Nonetheless, I believe that at least four of Maslow's goals -- physiological needs, safety and security, Belongingness and love, and esteem - are relevant to all individuals. People, again, experience different goals to varying extremes. Whilst some might have a greater need for love than others, others might place the desire for self-actualization before that of safety and security (as we see with the adventurer who apparently prefers the thrill of (for instance) mountain climbing) at the risk of imperiling his life.

Maslow gave them that self-meaning and appreciation and became one of the pioneers of a movement that brought the focus of individual feeling, yearning and wholeness into psychology. He sort of read them out and spoke their thoughts, feelings and aspirations for them.

Abraham Maslow, Elton Mayo, Douglas McGregor, and Chester Barnard are four theorists of numerous that assisted in building upon the formation of what is known as modern organizational theory.
