Gracious

Self-Actualizers have the awe-inspiring gift to be grateful, and in this way they are some of the most gracious individuals you will ever encounter. They appreciate things with newness. They are able to experience the normal every day event with wonder.  Maslow called this unique way of gratitude “continued freshness of appreciation” because these people are able to feel stimulated, awe, exhilaration, bliss, in the face of what most people would see as a mundane day.  These passionate feelings are not felt every moment of the day, but these moments tend to come out of the blue, or in waves.  These moments are known as “Peak Experiences”.  This allows the Self-Actualizer to be fully alive, fully present in these moments and they are able to transcend into a spiritual realm.
