Well, being 'goal driven' in the way you describe, Radical, really isn't typical of the way people have lived in the past, or the way they live in much of the world today. And even in the parts of mainly the Western world where it is typical I think most people follow goals that are really set for them by other people.
I've never been much of a 'goal setter' myself. A long time ago I decided that I really didn't care too much if I was happy or not, but I wanted to have an interesting life. Sometimes I've gotten sucked in, for a time, to fulfilling others' expectations, but whenever I get back to that original desire my life gets definitely interesting! -- And usually quite happy as well.
