You can't. Some things are just not possible.
However for things which are possible, perseverance and determination are undoubtedly aids to achieving those goals.
That's not to say you will... If 100 people apply for a job and they all set their minds to getting it, it is of course possible that you will get it but it is not all that probable. How can it be true that setting your mind to it will get you the job but them setting their minds to it will not get them the job ? In order for the assertion to be true, they would all have to get the job !!! Plainly ridiculous.
But I can say with absolute certainty that if you don't try, you can not succeed. It would also be true to say that under most circumstances, setting your mind to a problem will greatly increase the chance of you coming to a satisfactory conclusion.

You make things happen....if it is a big project, you set a plan and a goal and you make sure you meet the goal...if you have obstacles, do some research, get some help...just because it's your goal doesn't mean you won't need help achieving it...don't be too proud and then fail. I told myself I would find a good paying job & I didn't stop looking until I did, but in the mean time I took low paying jobs & got lots of experience & I reached my goal. You can't let anything get in your way, unless it is something you worth compromising for -- like a loved one.

To do or get something that you set you mind to you have to reeeeeally want it. You have to want it that you can almost taste it. You need to live it, breathe it and smell it. You have to be able to visualise yourself doing or being in the particular situation for yearn for. Grab hold of your dreams and never let go, just go for it. There's nothing to lose except loss itself.
PEACE & LOVE & ALL THAT

What ever you set your mind out to do with confidence it will happen so easy that you will in the end surprise your own self.

I wouldn't say that you can, as you can create some very unrealistic goals for yourself. The best thing is to be honest with yourself in what you are capable of doing and what you can improve. Take small steps and reward yourself properly for reaching these small goals.

It starts with your mind. Make it yours. Put it to work, give the mind leeches their walking papers.

all you have to do is to have faith and confidence and if you do believe in God, then pray on it. just stick to your goals and don't loose focus and don't let others bring you down.
stay positive...(i hope your goals are good ones)

You can't. This is just meaningless hokum repeated by people to make themselves feel significant.
