Well, it seems to me that you do have a goal, which is to continue
building on your success and enjoying using your considerable skills.
Perhaps you also want to keep sharp as a writer, designer, and editor by
keeping abreast of the latest information and trends?
For me, I have also achieved all my career goals that I had set on the
onset of my career, but I continue to add new goals. I am a freak for
goals -- I LOVE them. I like to continue growing, so for me, after an
achievement, it is time to look at where I have been and where I want to
go.
However, even if you just want to rest on your laurels, you have a goal.
