If it is to be, it is up to me
The statement "If it is to be, it is up to me" mean that it might be left up to me to achieve my personal goals in life. For example my physical life or my educational life, nobody is responsible for thoes things except me. While some people might have a choice to take matters into their own hands, others are forced into it. Like kids or adults that have highblood pressure or obesity. They would have to work ten times harder than a person that doesnt have thoes severe health risks. In retrospect, everyone is responsible for themselves to accomplish certain goals in life to make them become a better person.

This statement above "nothing can stop peole with the right mental attitude for achieving their goals" is simply saying a person with a goal set on their heart and with the right kind of drive will not let anything or anyone get in the way from achieving that goal. Some people make goals and never accomplish the because they get side track by personal issues, become lazy, or just decide to change their minds. However, other set goals that might be life changing so they do anything they possible can to successfully achieve it. These are the type of people you encourage, eventhough you should encourage everyone. I say this because that person might be real close to that life changing goal but have doubts they won't make it, but with the right words from a helpful neighbor they will come out on top successful.
