What do you do when you have no goals, no dreams and no ambition?

Lol, I've written a lot..

But what i meant is that there is no need of solutions because there is not a problem in the first place, you have no goals? That's fine, the only problem is that society have told you everyday that you NEED a goal, therefore you feel there's a problem in your lack of goals.

Society needs people to have goals in order to continue, people that want to work (in stores, in construction, in doctors, in police, in factories) in order to pay the house mortgage in order to have a family in order to reproduce in order to make society continue and advance.. So people do that, they follow the script that society have teach them.

But you have no goals, you are "broken" from a society point of view, there is a problem!

However from an individual point of view you have the right to live your life how you want, and if you don't want to have goals then you have the right to have no goals, the common goals are not good enough for you, not worth the effort, therefore you prefer to not pursue them.

Now, the solution is to look for bigger goals, big enough to let you feel the desire to pursue them.

And if even the big ones are not good enough for you, then fine! Just relax and stay without goals, you can do whatever you want with your life, it's your life!
