OK. You do sound as though you don't have very clearly-defined goals - though maybe there is some evasive word-play around the issue of what counts as a "clear" specification. Having goals is not rocket science! In any case, IMO, you would be well advised to start at number 1 on the above list.

How can you possibly get what you want if you don't know what it is? It doesn't matter whether you are looking to acquire wealth, enjoy excellent relationships, become more spiritual, etc. To get anywhere in life, you need to know "exactly" what you want.
