ex:

a) Hope all your goals are achieved.
b) Hope all your goals will be achieved.


Both sounds right grammatically, but A) is the norm, right?

Thanks in advance.

When I did google search for both, A) came up way more.

I must admit B) sounded more grammatically natural to me.

Personally, I would be inclined to use (a).
