HUH? My adult children have their own goals, why would they need to fulfill mine? Why would I want them to? They are fine with their lives and happy and I am fine with my life and happy....

Is this a trick question sunrise?? 
Any parent that thinks their kids should fulfill their own goals are in a poor position as a parent as far as I can see... not only does it interfere with self esteem but also has kids rebel and sometimes leads more sensitive kids on a self destruction mission... have seen it many times with kids on the street JMO
If you are going to educate them... self empower them to trust and respect themselves and teach them anything is possible if they believe in themselves and put their mind to it

It's not my goals or objectives; it is their lives, their choices; all I can do is give them choices to make and provide guidance when they ask or when a situation warrants it before any harm is done...I'm their pathfinder as it were.

I agree;
Your job as a parent is to make sure they are equipped for adulthood.
I see many parents coddling their kids, doing everything for them, spoiling them, then wondering what to do when they have no intention of getting a job or going to school.
I'd give them a time frame to move out. 3-6 months and tell them get your stuff together by then. If you don't you are just enabling them.

You see it too many times
The parents pushing the child to achieve for the wrong reasons
Yes,to give them a better education,there is nothing wrong with that,but sometimes its just for show purposes,like having the bigger house or flashier car
They force the kids to do things that make them look good,maybe to achieve at a particular sport that they never did
Instead spending their time playing, and learning their people skills that is important for growing up,they are bullied into a routine that they dont want,but have no choice,and miss out on their childhood
The title should read "What are your objectives if your children dont fulfil their goals"
The answer would then be to help and support them

If they don't fulfill my goals?
They set their own goals and if
they succeed,that's great but if not
I'll back them up,life and the experiences
of life are just a way of learning and growing.

My only goals for all of my children is for them to live to their full potential, be independent, find and pursue God's purpose for their lives (not my purpose). Then I know they will
have peace and a sense of indviduality...Which I think is the one of the best things about having children. Yes, you can see pieces of yourself in each one of them, but noticing how amazingly individual and different they all are...is thrilling!

this is what drives me crazy about most people that have kids or WANT to have kids - they have GOALS to HAVE kids. but having children, why is that a GOAL? to have this dream of a "mini-me" that they will find out really has a mind of their own and life of their own which THEY want to create?
if having kids is supposed to fulfill some GOAL, then you end up with threads like this!

Thats right in a sense that being a poor position parent put alot of effort in raising these children in hoping of THEM securing bright future. All resourses are exhuasted.
These kids are on the street and dropping back under your roof again, so the nightmare starts
