Philippians 4:13
New King James Version (NKJV)
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
At the beginning of any work, we ought to consider that our sole source of strength is Jesus Christ. Paul writing to Philippians says that he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him. He was in prison, he went through persecutions, rejections, stoning and in perils and destructions. The one thing which kept him alive is the source from where he draw an everlasting strength. As Jesus says
John 7:38
New King James Version (NKJV)
38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

The Bible clearly says that -

So the first thing to be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will. Is to be transformed by the renewing of our mind.
It takes efforts, hard work, dedication to achieve something in life, when there is such a tendency towards the goals of earthly thing, how much more should be there for heavenly, everlasting goals.
