- Post-enlightenment self-improvement motivation : The drive for self-improvement persists after enlightenment due to the recognition of deficiencies in one's character - specifically, in ways of thinking, behaving, or emoting - and the subsequent desire to discard these unhelpful traits.
- Character development for specific goals : Post-enlightenment, one may also aim to craft a character that's more conducive to certain activities or human endeavors, like improving skills in piano playing or other specific objectives.
