Simplified Evolution of a Thought (Abridged)
It all starts with a thought. That thought is judged; if unworthy, it is discarded – put on the heap to be resurrected later or forever forgotten.
If the thought withstands judgment, it is allowed to grow to an idea. The idea is a more complete form of thought. It may be composed of more than one thought, or it may be one thought more elaborately thought upon – dwelt on longer.
The idea itself is then judged. If it is unworthy, it, too, is discarded. If it is worthy, it is kept. Another judgment is made. Can it be done? This part of the process is based on the individual’s perception of self, situation and time. If it is perceived as doable, and the situation is perceived to be in favor of the doing, and the time is perceived to be right, and the time frame perceived as not being too long, the idea is allowed to grow. If any of these criteria are not met, the idea may be discarded, or it may be held onto until all criteria are met, or it has grown in the individual so as to have become uncontrollable. It becomes a force of its own; it begins to live.
The undiscarded idea, that is achievable now, is mulled over. It is allowed to grow. It, too, can gain momentum, become its own force, driving an individual and living.
A plan is formed on how to bring the idea into reality. Various perspectives can be gathered.
The plan is put into action. The idea becomes a reality, or a failure occurs. The failure may not happen for a long time. The idea may be a reality for seconds, minutes, hours, days or longer, or it may never be at all.

It was a little scary getting your heart’s desire after getting used to a life of just wishing for it.
