New competences necessary for an individual are being defined, so that they could integrate successfully in the whole background of the community, would be able to provide own wellbeing, increase comprehensive aspects of their life quality with a goal to provide development of the society in general. The quality of human life is determined by human capacity, it is a set of features, abilities and actions which enable the individual to form a life and self-realization model suitable for themselves in the desired direction. Life quality is created in daily life. Capacity is related to goal setting, choices and practical work.
Realization is awareness, cognitive action; actualization means action as a process, power consumption (from Latin actus- action) which has an essential outcome. The term self-realization means the cognitive aspects of thinking, action, theoretical action and work in the internal aspect. Self-realization is expressed in the I concept formation, correction and transformation, including the “Ideal I”, awareness of the world’s image and life plan, as well as the outcomes of the previous action.
