Mentally play around with the idea that you're already dead, and see how irrelevant most goals seem. Then think about which goals still seem meaningful.

For instance, helping people live more consciously is an inspiring goal to me. I'd die for that one. I'd also keep working on it after I'm dead, assuming there's some kind of afterlife. But if there isn't an afterlife, the stuff I leave behind (hundreds of articles, some audio, and a book) can keep providing value long after I'm gone. That's worth dying for IMO; therefore, it's sure worth living for.
