I think there is a phase in life when one thinks that almost everything and everyone revolves around him.  There used to be a time that I thought (probably unconsciously) that it's all about my dreams and hopes.  Thus the "I Used To Be a Supehero" tagline was born.  I think most people of my generation would agree that at some point in their lives we thought we went to school so that in the future we'll have a super job, a super car and be successful.  At least, personally there was a time frame that my goal was something like that.   Travel, buy your own house or car, gadgets and the whatnot.  When I pursued nursing we used to daydream about going abroad and living the life.  Yes, I think it's pretty normal to have that phase in your lifetime but such a phase is neither true nor lasting.
