I thought up a great test the other day and tryed it on myself.
The idea is to ask yourself if you had a wish that you knew would come true what would you wish for?
The answer for me is... Nothing... Even though i may have aims and goals i this question made me reflect and realize that Im alive to enjoy getting things and doing things not the actual things themself.... We cant take anything with us when we die.. we cant take our ego with us when we die... we cant even take out businesses with us when we die!
I hope you find value in this as i did.
comments appreciated.

I have begun to think the answer is simply how you feel about yourself when your sat, alone in a dark room.

Because our lives are full of clutter and external stuff, junk that doesn't matter. But strip that away, sit alone in a dark room. What do you think when all the clutter is gone, how do you feel about yourself? Your life? That is the answer.

Everything else is just the result of a current event or situation or 'thing' in your life.

I have noticed that when I am alone and there are no other distractions it does not freak me out the way it used to.. I used to have to have a radio or CD blaring all the time.. Lately though I really enjoy the quiet.. I think I am more comfortable with me than I used to be

Most of your answers are really deep. The first wish I thought of would be: TO FLY(like superman)! Since it's something that is always going to be unreachable no matter how hard we try, I would want that. Everything else is obtainable.
