Nine traits................................

..............................................found in self-actualizing people.

Maslow was pretty smart, studying well-adjusted and mentally healthy people.   To give you a taste, here are three of the nine traits:

1.   Self actualizing people know how to enjoy the journey, not just the destination. They are flexible, they can change; they adapt. Self actualizing people embrace uncertainty and ambiguity. They do not cling to the familiar.

3.   While inherently unconventional, self actualizing people do not seek to shock or disturb. They are neither conformers nor rebels. They resist enculturation. They are free thinkers, able to think outside the box, self-starters. They take responsibility for their own destinies.

7.   Self actualizing people are full of gratitude, full of wonder. They are at once realists and optimists.
