Be excessive, be obsessive about what you truly want. There is no other option but getting what you want. You will work harder than you could imagine, there will be sleepless nights and probably you won't even have time to eat. But don't stop. Yes, for a long time it will be CHAOS, confusion. But let me tell you, THE SATISFACTION you have from the hard work, there is no better feeling than achieving your goal through hard work. And then, THE REGRET you'll have for not doing it will eat you alive. YOUR CHOICE
Ya Allāh (ﷻ) grant me the strength to battle laziness and sleep, so I may wake up for Tahajjud and Fajr daily.
Perfecting one's intention for Allah's sake, is a lifetime's work.
Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbalī (رحمه الله) stated,
“One of the Salaf said, They would supplicate to Allah for six months to allow them to reach Ramadan, then they would supplicate to Him for six months to accept [their worship].”
[Lata’if al-Ma arif (Dar Ibn Hazm), 376.]

Imâm az-Zuhrî رحمه الله said:
"Do not underestimate yourselves because of your young age. For, whenever 'Umar ibn al-Khattâb was faced with a difficult matter, he would invite the youth and consult them; seeking the sharpness of their intelligence."
[Hilyah al-Awliyâ’]
