There is a difference between what I actually want and what I want to have fantasies about. (..) There is a part of my imagination which is a playground, a playground in which I am queen. It fulfils my need to have a fantasy land, and that need may be born of creativity as well as lack or repression. Our fantasies are about exploration and experimentation and the power of the imagination. Looked at intelligently, they can reveal a great deal. But there is a difference between fantasising and thinking about our hopes for the future. Anna Sands
About This Quote

Have you ever wondered what your future will look like? You have a few fantasies about it, but that's not the same as thinking about your hopes for the future. Your thoughts about the future are just that: thoughts. They're thoughts. When it comes to our hopes for the future, we need to remember that what we want is not the same as what we want to have.

We have a fantasy about what our future will be like. We need to remember that sometimes our fantasies are just that: fantasies. Fantasies can be a great part of life, but they don't have to define us.
