Dreaming of what you don’t have kills what you do have. Don’t chase figments of your imagination. Instead, look at what is.

If you feel unfulfilled, is it because something is actually missing, or because you’re overlooking what you have and creating utopian scenarios in your mind?

Don’t build a life on fantasies. Embrace what’s real. Enjoy fantasies as entertainment—as escapes—but organize your life around what works in reality.
