I don't concern myself with specific goals as such.
Setting a singular life goal in my opinion is a recipe for disaster. A primary life goal is doubly so. The devastation that failing at a primary goal can bring is monumental. Especially after a person has invested so much time and effort in convincing themselves that the goal was their 'purpose in life'.
I have a general goal of striving to make myself the best person that my reality recognizes. I focus on challenges and puzzles; untying mental knots that bind my thinking and impede my growth. The purpose being that it will allow me to explore many avenues and to find a place where I can choose from many options and have the wisdom to pursue any of them.

is life a stream only to bind it to a goal. can one not fly limitless? infact some doctrination in the childhood or even thereafter makes you believe that life is bound to have some goal. it may be primary or secondary. it is merely a juggellary of words.
have you ever noted that these atheists never fight over triffle matters. they never give a call of crusades or jihad. they live peacefully. while you theists bind your vibrant life to some non vibrant aim or objective. you bind your life to something non living. if your god is universal and omniscient then he must be encompassing your atheists also. he must be loving them also. so you also luve them. love them unconditionaly

Aim is common to all .There is no difference or discrimination.Aim for the performance of duties and responsibilities perfectly well and for the best satisfaction of all.
In the case of those believers of life after death attain moksha /get a berth in heaven is the aim of life.
Primary aim appear es to be the same in respect of all except for the difference of a perfectness and reward or recognition of life after death in the form of Heaven.

To live a free and authentic life; based on principles that I myself have decided upon.
If at the end, I greet the creator who plans to send me to hell, I shall say: 'At least I was true to myself. That was all I could do.'

Are you Christian? Is your goal Heaven? Do you ever wonder whether God sometimes says to himself, "They don't love me for me... they just love me for what i can give them."?
I guess what i mean is, is God your sugardaddy?
I'm not an atheist, but i certainly have loftier goals than all that.

Well, I guess the same as yours; just keep breathing until I don't want to anymore.

People who may convert from a religion to atheism or vice-versa don't change their goals in life.

Question-asker, what is your primary goal in life? How do you question-askers feel about premarital sex? Nuclear disarmament? Democratic goals in a capitalistic society? How does a question-asker feel about his family? Do you bathe every day?
