Will you loose hope at the first setback? Depends on the amount of "will power" you have. I would guess that's how XIE types think, you can clearly see that Ni in this "functional definition" is used as a means to attain some Se/Fe/Te goal.

It's the Ni pendant to the Si slogans "feel your inner strength", "connect to your body" that XSEs say.
I think Ni is the vision, but it's not the force that accomplishes the vision, I think that's Se, which would be more will power. Ni is just the target.
