Impossible challenges

Structure and habit,
the gold of all mines,
most say I have it,
others state me blind.

my passions and goals,
are impossible to meet,
but teaching myself,
is a skill I can't beat.

I set my standard high,
higher then most,
work ethic and drive,
never reaching my post.

but for me it's purpose,
why not have a challenge?
if life becomes easy,
my mind is unbalanced. 

without going easy,
you'd be surprised to find,
it's not a hard life,
it's a life learned to shine.
