I agree with luc. A struggle is worthwhile in and of itself. This doesn't mean there shouldn't be a goal, but rather that the struggle has value regardless of the goal. Sure, goals matter too, but it's a separate issue.
Even if you don't reach the goal or if the goal changes every now and then, the struggle itself always enriches you. You gain experience, learn from it, and grow. It makes you stronger and wiser, and that stays with you.
Challenging yourself with whatever is difficult for you helps you grow, whatever the goal at the moment happens to be.
You can also look at it from the perspective of a struggle being the opposite of laziness. You can be lazy and deteriorate slowly, or you can struggle and grow through it.
