Absolutely but it may run counter to marking off lists.

Life really isnt about personal growth. Not in the traditional sense.

Its more about adaptation, discovery and being at peace with your choices.

Absolutely. This is a universal truth that many cannot or will not accept. Being happy (or conversely, being miserable) is a conscious choice - one you have to make every day, but one you can make every day.

Obviously, one can do both - one can be happy and still pursue personal growth. At the very least, I don't see how they're mutually exclusive. Maybe I'm missing something.

Absolutely. Personality types determine what drives is, I believe. It's difficult to feel fulfilled and at peace while driving down your natural inclinations.

This is one reason for the rampant anxiety and depression imo. People living someone else's life
