Please reflect on the following statement: How will you apply this concept to your nursing practice, and how will you encourage this concept for your patients?

Human flourishing is defined as an effort to achieve self-actualization and fulfillment within the context of a larger community of individuals, each with the right to pursue his or her own such efforts. It encompasses the uniqueness, dignity, diversity, freedom, happiness, and holistic well-being of the individual within the larger family, community, and population. Achieving human flourishing is a life-long existential journey of hopes, achievements, regrets, losses, illness, suffering, and coping. The nurse helps the individual to reclaim or develop new pathways toward human flourishing. 

Reflection in 350-500 words on what it means to you to pursue human flourishing in yourself, and what it may look like when you promote it in your patients and coworkers.
