In my early 20s my primary goal was to make big bucks with a startup.
After that startup failed and caused me to experience depression, I spent a couple of years contracting and partying.
I realised over those two years that money is not everything, time is. I also decided I was tired of the partying bachelor lifestyle and had two babies, while enjoying some chilling time being an employee in a medium sized company with paternity leave and easy deadlines (which is nothing effort wise compared to starting a business or contracting).
My goal then shifted to build passive income streams, so that I have more time to spend on myself and with the family and on projects directed by me, instead of working for someone else trying to make profits above everything else.
After achieving that and getting the freedom I longed for, I don't really have a major life goal, just a bunch of things I would like to do.
At the same time, I don't feel like I would regret not doing these things if I were to die tomorrow.
