Is it okay to not have any grand goals?

I’m a male turning 32 this month, and I fear sometimes that I don’t have any real passions or goals. I make good money as a Senior UI Designer and I enjoy my job. I spend my free time playing tennis, gaming, gym, and drawing. But that’s really about it. My husband is very motivated all the time and moves from one obsessive passion/goal to the next. Doesn’t always achieve them, but is always wanting to make something, try something, or do something. Which I love about him. It keeps me on my toes.

I’m very supportive and often join in on the things. But I don’t necessarily search for activities myself. I’m an extremely content person with how my life is right now. I don’t have any grand goals to own my own business, win medals or make a big name for myself. I do love to the travel and I enjoy learning about other cultures but I’m not actively planning trips. Even when I try to think of something I could try that’s new, I feel like I’m forcing myself because I want to seem more interesting. But that’s all in my head cause he loves me and thinks I’m great. I’m a very passionate person when it comes to the relationship and I’m emotionally supportive.

I’m turning 32 this month and I’m afraid that if I don’t have any big passions, maybe I’m not doing enough with my life.

I tend to really get in my head about things, but this had really been on my mind lately. Any advice is well received. Thanks 🙏
