Day 2 of starting over

Day 2 - Where would you like to be in 10 years?

I only have two goals in life -
1. To be happy.
2. To be successful.

Life is ever changing and I gave up years ago trying to pinpoint real specific goals like married at 20 something, own a home by 20 something, have a child by 20 something...blah blah blah.
That does nothing for me but create fear of failing to meeting those arbitrarily set age goals.
If I get married and have children, or I don't, it makes no difference to me.
Those things won't validate my existence or prove I was a productive member of society.

I mean, sure, in 10 years I'd like that a lot of things. A home, a significant other, maybe a child?, a successful career, a BMW 6 series, financial security and 0 debt.
But just because I don't achieve those things won't mean I have reach my two goals.

I go where life takes me, where ever that may be.

(Is that a total cop-out answer to the question?)
