Assuming you are not particularly close to the retirement age, why would you not try to set some closer goals?
What's worth it? Travel is nice, but rare. Physical possessions lose their luster. I live in mostly isolation; there's no "Joneses" to keep up with. Tasty foods tend to be unhealthy and I'm at an age where my weight is really detrimental to my health.
So maybe a goal to stay/get in shape as it seems important to you Or you talk about living in isolation like its a bad thing (which it might not be), a goal could be to reach out. I think my point is goals need not be very big or ambitious. But more small things to work towards
And losing luster should not dissuade you, as momentary joy is marvelous
