About This Quote
Hopes and dreams are wonderful things. But, often we hope for too much and we expect too much. We put our hopes into something that we will achieve and then we just feel let down when it doesn’t happen. We want to be able to do something great but sometimes, without realizing it, we just go through life hoping that something great will happen to us. But, as the years roll by and the time comes to make a better decision about our goals, it is easy to realize that we have been living under false pretenses.
