What's your ultimate purpose besides financial success?

[australianinvestor]

I presume we're all here with the goal of getting in the fast lane. Some are in it, some are close, some are far away, and some dream of it but will never get there. Regardless of your position, here's a question I'd like to ask:

What's on the other side of the fast lane for you? Why do you exist, besides for financial, lifestyle and family success?

For me, I'm a social scientist and I'd like to think I'm an agent of good. Social science is a passion because I'm a curious person, and people are the focus of that curiosity. The human condition is a fascinating and beautiful thing, which I'd like to know more about. As for being an "agent of good", I'd like to think I have the skills, resources and will to change things around me for the better in a profoundly meaningful way.

How about you?
