How to deal with the probable side effects of "Superficial Wanting Thoughts of things" that you really don t want in material world..?

But may prefer to keep those in the mental imaginary world ..

For example , you maynot really want to be a Multi Billionaire in the real physical world because of the probable further hassles that might bring in along with but may prefer to keep an imagination that you are a multi billionaire in the mental sphere ..

What all could be the probable side effects of that like some God after reading your mind might actually gift or grant you your mental wish that you don t prefer to have in the real world and how to over come the side effects of that with the probability of Gods getting angry for denying their gifts out of their grace and compassion in the physical world which you think can be problematic in future with too much to handle ..

In Hindu Puranas , Lord Indra got cursed to become old by Sage Durvasa for denying his gift out of compassion needing to do Palazhi Mathanam later to be young again .. Yayathi also got cursed to become old by Venus, for denying Venus daughter Devayani in the physical / material world and going after another girl Sharmishtah..

What all could be the other side effects for not fulfilling one s mental world imaginations in the Physical / Material World and how can the negative seeming side effects canbe reduced without reducing on any of the mental imaginations but denying that to be fulfilled in the material / physical world ?

    I do lie awake at night wondering if I have invented or wished for the world I live in. If so, why did I not wish myself to be a millionaire?

    However, I have yet to see a glitch in the Matrix and assume it is not all down to me.

    Update. I have just realised that I am very likely to be a millionaire soon. I will be taking ownership of our family farm this year because my mother has finally realised that she cannot manage it. And all I can see are problems, if it was sold the tax would be punitive and there would be nothing left for future generations. If I take it on, which I will, I will have to work for the rest of my life to stabilise it all and bring it back into profit. And you are seriously saying this is what I wished for?

    “Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.”

    ― Blaise Pascal, Pensées

    This is not the place for deep spiritual discussion. You will attract only trolls, for the most part. However, materialism is a very difficult trap to escape. For instance, I am easily impressed by advanced electronics. I like gadgets that can do nifty things.
