Maslow's hierarchy of needs Self-Actualization Level
People have different things that they might want in their life that go along with this level. Some of these things could be becoming a great basketball player, becoming a master at the piano, or being a great inventor. These needs do not show themselves until all of the needs in the lower levels have been taken care of. For example, if a person is worrying about feeding themselves and needs to think about their physiological needs, then they will not be thinking about self-actualization and their life goals. Making sure they have food and a home is more important. Someone only reaches the self-actualization level once all the other levels are fulfilled.
