Well, guess what? All human activity is, or at least, ought be, "goal-oriented". You need to have at least one goal. And work toward it. The hard part is, you get to decide what goal. Yes, I know, it's not an easy thing to choose. I have failed miserably to select one worthy goal at which I could succeed. I have long held that that one worthy goal should either be something that makes you happy or something that makes your life better in some tangible way.
