What is your highest and best use?

In real estate they have a term, highest and best use, it is used to describe the most profitable usage of a propery. Let me give you an example; suppose you have a small older apartment block that brings in a nice income. Now imagine that if that apartment block were torn down and replaced with a high rise condo building. Assuming that the condos sold for a high price, then the highest and best use of that property might be to tear it down and rebuild even though it is presently a good investment.

Now, what about if we think about our highest and best use. Since we are talking about people and not property, the possiblilities are infinitely bigger. And how does one know what their, highest and best use, is?

Now that is a very useful question to ponder. You might think on that question for a long time and not come up with a proper answer, for you. That is where the Creation Box, you see pictured above comes into play. And of course in keeping with the Truthteller philosophy, it is fun and easy.

Ok, lets have some fun! Get yourself a nice box and like I did put a label on it that says....CREATION BOX....That which is in here....IS! Just as you can see I did in the picture. Now, here's the fun part; put pictures in the box of everything you ever desire. If you can't find a picture, write out your desire on a piece of paper and put that in the box. (I got this idea from the book, Ask and it is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks).

What we are doing is collecting our desires and attracting more desires. It is by examining our desires that we will find our, highest and best use. The answers you seek may not come quickly, but they will surface if you continue with this fun exercise.

If you don't have a lot of desires, it may be because you just aren't inspired. And if you are not inspired, guess what? You are not living your highest and best use. So stay with and keep collecting desires until it gets easy and really flows.

It is important here to realize that your highest and best use may have nothing to do with money or material gains. It may be that your calling is to be a missionary or a stay at home mom. Only you will know the right answer. And you will know by how it feels so right when you think about it.

Yesterday, I watched a video of a Professor who was dying and was giving a talk about, what he would like to accomplish before he died. (I'll try to link to it later, it's fascinating) One of things that he said, that nearly knocked me off my chair was this...

"If you lead your life the right way
you won't have to chase your dreams
they will find you"

Powerful stuff! Living your life the right way to me, means living your highest and best use. To find that, you need to examine your desires and then follow your hunches and intuitions....quickly! And should you get a little discouraged on your path to enlightenment, here's something else he said...

"Brick walls are there to stop
those who just don't want it bad enough"

All this from a man who is dying with a big smile on his face. Inspiring.
