This is a type of pun. The term backbone, meaning the spine, is also used to metaphorically describe personal resolve and courage. Supposedly, determined people have stiffer spines. People who give up have slumping postures. So, wishing for something to be true is not nearly as useful, or as likely to succeed, as going out there and making it happen, by doing whatever you need to do, with resolve and courage, never accepting defeat.
