Applied Aristotle?

Aristotle is quoted as saying, "It concerns us to know the purposes we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definite mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we desire."

Building from this quote, my questions are :

What are the purposes that you seek in life? How do you strive to attain them?

Alternatevely: Why do you choose not to strive after purposes? What causes you to feel that it is not necessary?
