Hope I've noticed is an emotion best left for sure things or add- on's to sure things. Ex: "I hope that there will be scuba diving at the resort I'm going to." Or....."I hope that this Friday I will have the time to finish up the laundry that I've been meaning to do this week." Hope is not a good idea for things such as: "I hope I win the lottery with this ticket." or "I hope (insert person's name here) isn't working tonight so we can go out and party."
Hoping for things far away will always turn out horrible for a person and leave them feeling horrible when they are let down. However I don't think this means that you shouldn't be optimistic about things just keep in mind that nothing will work like you plan it unless it's something that is completely up to you to do.
