Having high hopes actually triggers your capacity to challenge what's inside of you. If you don't aim high, you can't get even the half of your goal.
We are always been reminded since kids that you need to aim high. "little steps leads to higher glory" this was my teacher's saying. Every learning is a step closer to success. You may find answers from others dreams or goals. You may find encouragement from your worst enemy. You may find answers from day to day activities. All of these, contributes on what we call EXPERIENCE.
Lean on every aspect in life whether bad or good, all molds the same foundation successful people right now. We always hear from them "always find answers from your mistakes" and its true. You can resolve a problem from an event of the past. Creating new formula will be your antidote of the future.
You will succeed even though right now you ain't feeling that it is happening. You can unleash the burning desire to reach your goals. You will then fuel your body with positivity to move forward and it will materialize without noticing it.
