When I was a kid I had a schoolmate who wanted to learn playing the piano because she wanted to play "Für Elise". Of course she never got very far, as she had no interest whatsoever in practicing.Of course you should have your major goals, but in your daily practicing sessions you must be very patient with yourself. Every little step is one step further, always remember that. Every step is necessary, every step counts. Yes, some of the pieces you mention will take years and years and years - but I promise, you will learn them, eventually! You will probably realize that they are even more difficult to learn than you think today, but ... they are not written for super-humans. Just one step at a time. I used to think some pieces were too difficult for me, because I sat down at the piano and tried to play them right off, it seemed impossible, it sounded just dreadful, so I gave up! But then I took another approach: I decided to give it the time it needed, and not care about how awful it sounded. I focused on just a few bars and did not care that there were 100 more to go ... And slowly things improved. Slowly I learned to play things I had not been able to play before, and I realized that the learning itself was very fun. Like laying a very big and complicated jigsaw puzzle. You don't lay a jigsaw puzzle just because you want the end result, do you? And you don't expect to lay a 5000-piece puzzle in one afternoon, and you know there are no shortcuts either. A 5000-piece puzzle is in fact not more difficult than a 100-piece puzzle, it just takes more time to finish ... The same with difficult piano pieces. Break them down, bar by bar or even shorter, and you will finally get down to a level which you can handle.Good luck.
