10 Seeds Of Greatness

10 Seeds Of Greatness


1. The Seed of Self-Esteem (Appreciate the value of yourself)
“From self-love to self-worth". Self Esteem means how you perceive yourself. To have a low self esteem means that you see yourself in a bad way, people with low self esteem usually do not succeed because they do not have confidence in themselves. People with a healthy self esteem usually always see the positives about themselves and have a good amount of confidence in themselves in order to succeed. Self Esteem means to see the positives in yourself and not put yourself down by calling yourself harsh names or even hurting yourself. To help your self esteem get better you can practice being positive and you can also practice telling yourself positive things instead of negative.



2. The Seed of Creativity  "Releasing your creative energy" To have a seed of creativity means to be creative or to have a part of you that is creative. Being creative means to think outside the box to let your imagination take control. But some may think that creativity can be good but sometimes it can be bad because you let your imagination run to wild that sometimes it may look to wild. You have to know how to control your creativity when it is needed. I believe artists know when to control they're creativity and when to let it run wild. Being creative may at times make you different from others nut that is what makes you unique. I believe every person has creativity but everybody's creativity is different. If you do not have creativity then you most definitely can get it. Creativity is something everybody has and if you think you do not then you are doubting yourself and who knows maybe when you find that creativity inside of you, you may love it.

3. The Seed of Responsibility "Whatever we sow, we reap" Responsibility is a huge part of success without it you will not achieve. Every person no matter what they want to do have to be responsible. In school you have to be responsible because you have to be caught up with work and assignments. Being responsible in school is especially important if you are in a sport because you have to be on the right track to play a sport. People may not want to get a job because it requires them to be responsible but what people don't know is that everything requires them to be a responsible even being famous requires you to be responsible. Being responsible shows people that you are capable of doing work and that they should trust you to do it and not any other person but you. Another big part of being responsible is to not make excuses be responsible for what you did and did not do.



4. The Seed of Wisdom Wisdom is very important because you have to know how to think correctly. Wisdom also means knowing how you feel about something and how you express your opinion. Wisdom means having quality experience, knowledge, good judgement and the quality of being wise. Good judgment means you know your right from wrongs.Wisdom also means having responsibility that is why these seeds of greatness are very important because they all contribute to one another. Wisdom is very hard to find in a person or to even find in yourself its based off judgement and how you see a person and what you consider to be wisdom. Wisdom also means how much you are able to grow with yourself and how you learn from your mistakes and what you do from those experiences.

5. The Seed of Purpose The seed of purpose is very important because without a purpose why would you even do anything. To me, I do everything with a purpose. If I do not do it with a purpose then to me there is no point in doing anything because when you have a purpose to do something then I believe that you put your all into it. When you have a purpose to do something then you put your thought into it you try to make it your best instead of making bad which is what you will do when you do not have a purpose to do something. For example I am in softball here at school, I am doing this for a purpose because I believe I can hopefully make it to play in college, some other girls on the team just do it to have a sport on their college applications, my coach says if you are playing just for that do not play.

Seed 7 Faith the power of believing. To believe not only means to believe in something that might be imaginary it can also mean to believe in yourself. It is very important that you believe in yourself, because if nobody else believes in you then at least you have yourself. Believing in yourself is important because you are giving yourself a boost of confidence a boost or trust you have in yourself. When you believe in yourself you automatically get yourself to do so much better in everything. It lets you motivate yourself in every way and it does not let anybody stop you from getting what you believe you can get for yourself. Its letting your faith take you where you know you want to go. Faith in yourself means trust in yourself.

Seed 8 Adaptability "Turning problems into Opportunities". Adaptability is when you are able to adapt to your surroundings. To adapt to your surroundings does not necessarily mean to adapt to trees and water or such things of that nature, it can mean more than that like, adapting to the people around you and to things like if you are learning something new. To  be able to adapt is a great quality because it means you are able to not only settle yourself in but by being able to adapt you are able to learn quickly. I believe that when you adapt quickly you learn quickly because your mind takes less time being confused and it actually tries to learn something unlike other who do not adapt quickly and spend most of their time being confused. It also means to be able to adapt to change, lets say an obstacle to your goals come your way, being able to adapt to those changes and overcome them is what adaptability is all about.

Seed 9 Perseverance. " The will to win is everything" Perseverance means to never give up and to always give it your all no matter what. Perseverance is a quality that not many people have and the people who do have it are people who succeed the most in life. People with perseverance are people who always strive for their best and they know how to overcome obstacles. When obstacles to their goal come in their way they know how to overcome or just simply go with it. By saying " simply just going with it" I mean that they do not give up they try to overcome or they find ways around this obstacle so that they can get back on track to their goal. I believe perseverance is a quality everyone should have but sadly not everyone has it. I believe this is because people motivate themselves differently and also the people that they have around either do not motivate them at all or only very little.

Seed 10 Perspective. "Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude" Perspective is important because it means the way people or you see things. Perspective is important because if you see things in a negative way then you most likely will not succeed or you believe you can not and then you won't. People who see things in a positive way have a higher chance of succeeding because they believe they can succeed and see the world in a way where nobody can stop them. Perspective is the way somebody sees things in the world and this can be either good or bad. If you see things in a negative way you will be afraid to take on the world and if you see them in a positive way then you will take on the world as if nothing can stop you.
