I wondered recently, what would happen if we were able to monetize our personal energy?
Think about this with me for a minute. If our energy were converted into cold hard cash, how would we spend it? Or save it?
Let’s say each morning we are given a hundred dollars in denominations of five, so a total of twenty bills. And for every incident where we got angry and acted badly because of that anger, maybe we said something hateful or nasty, perhaps texted or posted something on social media that was unkind or untrue, we had to pay that money out. Five dollars every time. And then let’s suppose that money was going to the person who was on the receiving end of that offense! That would make us more angry and additional money would be flying out of our pockets! I imagine there would be some people who would go broke rather quickly, and I bet you also can think of a few.
However, we do have the ability to save that money. The way to do that would be in how we treat others. Would our goal be to keep all one hundred dollars? Could we successfully do that?
Because when we think about it, it takes a lot of energy to be angry, unkind, and bitter each day. It not only drains our energy, it also robs us of peace and harmony, and so much more.
If this could actually happen, if we could monetize our energy, it would be really interesting to see what could change, and would change in the world.
It makes me wonder.
