I want to be able to retire before I die. That’s my only goal.
The only notable life achievement I’ve accomplished was the purchasing of a very small house. This was done by never having children, never having romantic relationships, never owning pets, eating inexpensive meals at home, never desiring vehicles for pleasure (cars, boats, atv, etc.), and engaging in activities with low chances of medical bills (because I’m American).
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

Assuming you are not particularly close to the retirement age, why would you not try to set some closer goals?

And losing luster should not dissuade you, as momentary joy is marvelous
