About This Quote
Hope has a way of casting shadows on the truth. The positive and negative sides of an idea or situation can be so far apart that they completely cancel each other out. When you’re feeling down and discouraged, it’s easy to get caught up in this idea, “There’s no hope for me. I just don’t have what it takes.” Then when an unexpected opportunity arises, you can be too quick to jump to the conclusion that “This is a sign from the universe, saying things are going to get better for me.” But if there were ever a time when you should keep your feet firmly planted to the ground, it would be when the going gets tough.
