Humans are designed as goal striving machines and Dr. Maxwell Maltz in his book "Psycho-Cybernetics" does an amazing job explaining this. A must-read book if you have not already read it. However, the question is whose goals are you striving for? Are they your parents, your families, or yours? If you want to feel you lived a meaningful life, a worthy life, you have to be brutally honest with yourself to answer this question.
