Well, mine is abysmal, thank you for asking, BUT I have seen people drive for life goals like that with single-mindedness and actually achieve them. I imagine you have to widen your “acceptable” target landing zone quite a bit most times.
People only achieve life-goals because they get attached to the process of making them happening. No single person ever has set a multi-year goal and achieved it because they were chasing the goal.
