It's still uncertain whether or not I will be able to achieve mine or not, but I'm pursuing going back to school and eventually working again, and it does a lot to keep my priorities in focus so that those mornings when I "just don't feel like it," I can force myself to do those things that I know I need to do to keep it together.
I suggest you pick a goal that is something fun to look forward to, and that you are certain that you can attain if you work hard enough. Its best to have only one goal at a time. To me, school and work are too much 'musts' to qualify as good goals -- in this context, at least.
For example, I just booked a trip to Prague this summer.
I'm on disability, and could remain on disability the rest of my life. School and work are optional for me, but options which inspire me.
