I also try to live an uncomplicated life without much room for failure. I spend all day every day at work setting and meeting goals so, to be honest, I'm a bit burned out on that and found that living life organically works way better for me. Probably my only significant goal at this time, beyond the obvious fundamental ones like staying healthy, keeping my job, etc., is buying a massive amount of property somewhere secluded and developing a cabin or mini homestead there. I'm not committing myself to it that much so it'll probably never get done.

I missed reading this shit. I haven’t seen a rant on facebook in ages.

yeah, i generally agree with this, but i do think that the turn of a new year is a good time to reflect on goals accomplished (or failed) in the past year and to envision challenges and goals for the next year. Usually around New Years I come up with an idea or a plan that will sort of set the tone for the coming year. Sometimes it ends up working out, other times it doesnt. It's also important to be able to change and adapt your plans on the fly, or throw them out when it becomes clear they aren't working.
