actualising
Bringing to fruition
Actualising is the British spelling of actualizing—the present participle of actualize.
To actualize is to make real or concrete what was previously potential, theoretical, or imagined: She spent her thirties actualising the dreams she'd had at twenty.
The term appears frequently in psychology and self-help contexts, where self-actualising means fulfilling one's potential.
