An idiom in English for when you can’t be hopeful about something good. Because it is temporary, better not be hopeful. Is there something like that?

Needs clarification. Do you want a warning like "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched", or a description of someone who will never accept good things because they're too scared they will vanish (which might be a type of anxiety).– Stuart FOct 31 at 14:24
