Goals don't work because the process of achieving or creating anything valuable is unpredictable. It's a discovery. And its importance may not be immediately apparent. That's why you don't get a Nobel Prize until 10 or 20 years later.

This is a great comment. If you're a navy SEAL, for example, you don't "have" goals in the same way as most people.
