You choose new goals.

If you ran out of goals, then your previous goals were all Material / Tangible goals - these are always the easiest ones to accomplish, and tend to be focused on yourself.

They're also the least satisfying, which is why most people aren't truly fulfilled even after they've accomplished these goals. That's why they need to set more goals.

What you might want to consider are Idealistic / Intangible goals, which are far more difficult, and tend to relate your Self to the World. They are more "impossible" goals, but they can also be more fulfilling.

Some examples (which are all "service-oriented", sorry):
1) Help make your community, society, or the world a better place.
2) Being the best person that you can be in this life.
3) Becoming wiser.
4) Being kind to all those you meet.
etc...

Idealistic goals don't necessarily have to be this service-oriented, but maybe you get the picture.

We are not machines to run out of gas.
We are brained-humans who can never run out of goals.

Have an HOG in life. (HOG = Humongous Overarching Goal). This should be achievable only over a period of 30 or 40 years. All other goals should be the split identities (or chunks) of the HOG.

Example: 20 to 30 Short-term achievable goals (1-2 years each) should comprise one HOG, or 8 to 15 medium-term achievable goals (4 to 8 years each) should become a HOG.

Search for the purpose of life, and you can find out the HOG.

Have you achieved the goals you had set yourself? If you have achieved them relax and enjoy your success if not set yourself attainable goals. The key to achieving any goal is to stay motivated.
If you have run out goals then you need a break refresh yourself with a holiday and when you are in a better frame of mind you would know as to what goals you need to attain.

I don't think that God wants people to run out of goals; goals are essential to how we live our life and how we pass on what we know to others. Everybody who answered before me had some great advice on how to continue setting goals and how to help others with your knowledge. I think that you should continue setting goals because there is always something worth doing and something else worth sharing. I always say that people should share what they've achieved and I also believe that there's always something a person hasn't done, find time to live or achieve something you haven't done in your lifetime.

You can never run out of goals. You have to keep wanting to achieve something. I cant believe you can reach all your goals to the extent that you stop having certain goasl about life, society, yourself, your spirituality etc.

One cannot run out of goals, he can only choose not to set one.

I can set new goals, but the problem is, reaching the goal is always difficult and needs tremendous effort.

Fade away. I figure if your in your forties and still haven't reached your goal, what's the point? I'd just as soon OD on sleeping pills or put the noose around my neck and step off into eternal nothingness. No- I am not suggesting this for anyone else or encouraging anyone else to subscribe to my words.
