Theseus

The phrase has been around a long time. It means that someone is trying to get you to understand that what you are attempting is impossible, at least for you. That person is saying further that if you are unwilling to look at your life realistically, that you are foolishly wasting yourself--for nothing. It's not going to happen, so if you are not going to do anything positive or effective, then suit yourself--DREAM ON!
