"If it is to be, it is up to me"
What this quote means to me is that if you have a goal for yourself and you work hard to reach that goal then it will come. In order to get to your goals you need to put in the work that is necessary in order to reach that goal. Say you set a goal that you want to be able to run a 100 yard dash in 13 seconds. Everyday you will need to be out at the track running sprints and doing your leg exercises. Having goals should not be easy to reach but they dont need to be too easy.

This quote means exactly what it says, if you want something bad enough then you can reach it no matter what obsticals are in the way.
