I don't think we can accurately come up with any one measurable to life, or even a consistant set. For one thing, measurements are inherently linear (and usually scalar), and just about everything worth doing is much more complicated than that.
I would also consider that the struggle to judge one's past and future takes one out of the present, which is the best place to be most of the time.
Having said that, it always helps to have goals. When you walk a balance beam, you do best when your eyes are on the horizon.
