Need a new goal

Its a bit silly asking here I spose but I'm sure people will have some good ideas.
I need a new goal or project to work on or some sort of direction with my life. I spent a long time chasing paper and I got pretty good at it but I'm just bored of that now. I sold up my business and I'm gonna go travelling but when I get back I'm gonna really need a new project.
I tend to get bored and depressed fast when I'm not working towards achieving something.
Been thinking about starting a commune, buying some land and building an eco home, recruiting somemebers to help me run it, grow foods etc I'm not sure if the concept might be a bit to big for me to handle though... maybe find an existing one and help
I dunno - looking to hear other peoples plans and projects or just suggestions

I have no goals, so I can avoid let downs. 

Buy a project car, and restore it!

Man, if you get bored fast, I wouldn't waste your time starting a commune. I lived with 7 people before and we tried the urban green anarchist eco-living stuff and before we actually made any progress we decided we wanted to kill each other instead.

Restoring a car is a good idea, I once started on such project, bought an Audi 100 coupé S from 1975, rather rare car, but it was too much for me so I sold it to some other guys that wanted to restore it.
If you are serious about your commune and have resources for it, I think it is a great idea. There is a guy in former Yugoslavia, film director I thing, who have done exactly that with his money, he built what is now a small village, and basically anyone can come and live there as long at they obey the rules, do their work and are nice to other people there.
That is if you provide for your guests, i.e. place to sleep, food, e.t.c. and then you build work shops, such as textile making, or woodwork e.t.c. those guests can start doing shit for themselves and also things you can sell.
Hence you get people at your property working for food and shelter and some money now and then.
I.e. you will own you own serfs, you can call them souls 
And there probably are good people in unfortunate situation which would prefer to be serfs instead of living on the street, but also hippies. 
Sounds like a good project to work on. =)
You can call it "Living Souls"

Traveling will probably do you the world of good. Give you some fresh ideas anyway.
Maybe get some job abroad? Gets jobs abroad and keep moving around?

well, you could study pyschadelics and come up with good ways to incorporate them into your gardening practices start yourself a good home that piece by piece renovation by renovation you can personalize and make green at the same time. theres good challenges and plenty to learn right there... maybe start greening other peoples homes for profit? the possabilities are endless... and if you dont already, find a special someone that can see the same colors you can and learn together.

Thats complex... I need to be at least slightly interested in it else I would still get bored and depressed but I don't have to love it either. I don't really know what to do with my life at all, never have probably never will :-P but need something to work towards.

Travelling will probably make this better... The car idea is good but not for me - I don't have any interest in them.
