Over the many years of working in the fields of personal development - training, speaking, coaching, facilitating growth events - I've met all kinds of people. Too many measurements and categories to group them, really.
But one that I felt saddest for, are those who simply just "exist" in the world. They don't have a vision. They have no interest. They don't see the importance of growth and ambition. They don't have a passion to pursue. The answer you'll hear them say most of the time, is:
"I don't know."
And the conversation ends there.
I've seen some coaches trying to work with them, by asking powerful coaching questions like "If you were to know, what would you do?" Even in those cases, they will still stare blankly at the coach (or you), shrug their shoulders, and repeat their "I don't know." With the same level of intensity, even.
These, for me, are the saddest type of people. Even when their loved ones tried to help them, they just remain unresponsive. Sometimes I wonder, why would our Makers give them life and free choice, and yet, they choose to treasure none of it. They are blessed with opportunities others would beg for. They are blessed with peace others would fight for. They are blessed with education others would die for.
And yet, they just go through life, without really living it.
Can I be honest? They scare me, really. They constantly put me on check, to make sure I don't become like that. I honestly have a genuine fear that one day I would slip, and become like that too. I would chant the "I don't know" as well.
I know it's bad to compare like that, because in no way I want to feel superior in any way. Having said that, I can't say the thought doesn't send a shiver down my spine. I would tell my close friend, 
What about you? Do you share the same fear as well?
Mini Motivation is my own daily strategy to inspire myself. Mostly 3 minute reads.
From Motivation, we gain Inspiration. From Inspiration, we achieve Momentum. And the rest, they say, is history.
Hope it helps nudge you a bit too in the right direction.
