Help me to understand a sentence, "I feel it's important to hold on to my dream, no matter how difficult things get."

The following is the sentence that made me confused.

'I feel it's important to hold on to my dream, no matter how difficult things get.'

"no matter how difficult things get"

Since the words, "things" and "get" have multiple meanings, I've had difficulty understanding the sentence.
Here's what I found in a dictionary:

things plural noun : used to refer to the general situation : Ex)Things have been going very well recently.
get verb : to become or start to be: Ex) Is your cold getting any better?

Based on the research and the context, I would paraphrase the sentence like this:
'I feel it's important to hold on to my dream, no matter how difficult the situation would be.'

Could you share your opinion on the sentence?
Thanks in advance. Emotion: big smile

You worked it out quite nicely. I would offer one correction though: use "becomes" instead of "would be."
