Thought Bubbles

One of the biggest things I look out for is thought bubbles as opposed to passion.  I have considered it often and know I am just as capable of confusing a thought bubble with a passion as the next person.  I got some new thoughts about it today I wanted to write down.
The reason I have thought about it is, often others come to me with an idea.  Often it is a good idea and worth pursuing by the one who suggests it (not by me though – as I am not the one who has been motivated by it in the first place.  I will “support” all I can, but will not “initiate”).  When it is in my power to see it happen or not, I will mostly wait.
It is my contention that if something is a passion it will be there in a week or months’ time.  If it is a thought bubble it is like “it seemed like a good idea at the time” but it is as quickly forgotten as it did arise.
To me a thought bubble is like a wave in the open sea.  Sometimes the sea is a mill pond and at other times it has mountainous waves.  It is driven by a number of factors including wind. 
Passion to me on the other hand is like the breakers along the shoreline.  They may be rolling in now and in a weeks’ time if I go back, they are still rolling in.  Certainly external factors affect their size and power.  But fare weather or foul the breakers keep coming.
Several times I have had others suggest something to me and waiting saw it as a forgotten thing.  Often too I find thought bubbles are not thought through, or if they are, problems can be seen to be insurmountable.  Passions to me though thinks things through and endeavours to find a way around or through a problem.
Passion is a biggy for me.  Often it is what keeps me going when it would be easier to give up.  Passion is an ongoing driving force while thought bubbles at best are crossed off a “to do” list.
