I think we choose when we want the final draft and mission statement of our lives to be drawn up. For some, it's written years before they die. As people get older, they can sometimes become set in their ways and say, "I've tapped out, I am who I should be, and you can't teach me any new tricks." These people aren't necessarily pessimists or underachievers, but they're definitely comfortable with where they are.
For others, they aren't done working on it until the day their souls leave their bodies. They won't stop at life, and learning, and bettering themselves until they are satisfied. I would fall into this category because there's a lot I ought to and want to learn and experience before I reach self actualization, as Maslow would put it.
