Spend Your Spiritual Currency Wisely

I passed just in time to see a bus driver getting a ticket from a police officer. He must have committed some traffic violations that deemed it necessary and Mr. Bus Man was not happy about it. It was not even 7 am and the officer was always on her beat, with a ticket book and pen ready to catch persons who dare contravene the law. I myself, just a few weeks ago had gotten a ticket for not having my driver’s license with me while driving so in my head I was commiserating with the driver. Getting tickets is annoying and the fees can add up quickly if one does not pay them one time.

Observing this exchange got me to thinking. How many tickets do we rack up daily for committing some offense against ourselves?

We rack up our ticket count when we are not thankful and gracious for what we have.

We deserve a ticket when we walk around with a lack mentality, when the Universe abounds with blessings for us but we are not open to receiving them.

We definitely ought to be ticketed when we think less of ourselves, when we fall short and still kick ourselves in the process.

A ticket is justified when we refuse to love ourselves as much as we love others, when loving ourselves first is key to being able to give love to someone else.

And if you are like me, you earn a ticket every time you do not guard your energy from energy vampires and hate mongers who constantly spew negative vibes, tainting your spirit and lowering your own vibrations.

One, two, three, four, five tickets as easy as that.

Stop increasing the coffers of ungratefulness, self-abuse, jealousy, and lack. We did not come here to spend our spiritual currency on these things.

We came to love, to give, to receive, to experience, and to love just a little bit more.

Pay up your past tickets and vow, “no more.”
