I always entertain great hopes.
My hopes are not always realized, but I always hope.
I'm very hopeful. I am very optimistic about the future.

I can't be optimistic. I can be hopeful.
If you align expectations with reality, you will never be disappointed.
I feel like if you don't put too much expectations and too much high hopes into things, everything will fall into place.
