About This Quote

Who is to say that it is not everything else that is the dream? The idea of everything else as the dream suggests that the only thing you should be concerned with is reaching your goals. This can lead you to believe that if you fail at one aspect of your life, you still might succeed at another. It means that your life isn’t about what happens to you, but rather what you make of it.
