Abraham Maslow’s Self Actualizing Trait Number Six:

“Autonomy. Independence of Culture and Environment. Self actualizing people are not dependent for their main satisfaction on the physical and social environment. Rather, they rely on their own potentalities and latent resources for growth and development. Healthy people have a high degree of self-direction and free will. They regard themselves as self-governed, active, responsible and self-disciplined agents in determining their own destinies. They are strong enough to be oblivious to others opinions and affections; thus they shun honours, status, prestige and popularity.”
