My dream was one day ordering a drink and finding out it tasted wonderful.

Sylvia Plath
About This Quote

Many of us have a vision of what we want our life to be. We dream of the perfect place with the perfect person, the perfect house with the perfect view, and the perfect job that pays millions. While these things are wonderful things that we wish for, they are not that. They are ideals.

If we want to be happy, we must always remember to look at reality and what is available to us instead of spending a lot of time dreaming about something that may never come true. For instance, if I was driving down the road and saw a billboard of a house I wanted, would I really buy it? Probably not. But if I saw a billboard of a house I would like to live in, then maybe I would consider buying it.
