It means that instead of waiting (and wishing) for something to happen. Be strong (have a backbone) and make things happen. Take responsibility for yourself. Don't say, "I wish this had happened" or "I wish that hadn't happened". Instead, decide what you want, make a plan, and work hard to make it happen

If you've ever heard of a wishbone you know its a bone you find in chicken wings, you and a friend break it in half and whoever gets the bigger half gets their wish to come true. A backbone on the other hand is very hard and not easily breakable so it means to toughen up basically

Don't spend your life wishing when you really just need some backbone (strength, tenacity, toughness) to get through it.

Don't just "wish" something would happen, take action and make it happen and don't be afraid to stand up for whatever that may be!
