I know some people who immediately dismiss the idea of making deliberate changes or choosing audacious goals. They seem to feel that they are not meant to keep growing beyond childhood. Most of these people I know live some really harsh lives, but some of them seem at peace with scarcity, and struggle.

I know some people who set and achieve audacious goals, but engage in seemingly little meta-cognitive consideration about the way they spend their life and what it will ultimately amount to. So, they're very much into certain aspects of personal development such as optimal effectiveness and physical health, but seem to have less interest in the spiritual and metaphysical aspects and if asked would likely call certain things BS or say they don't believe.
