The Ten Seeds of Greatness

1.The Seed of Self-Esteem (Appreciate the value of yourself)

“From self-love to self-worth"

Self esteem reflects a persons overall subjective emotional evaluation of his or her own worth. It is important that one feel s safe ans sound the way they are. Being themselves and not trying to be someone else or better themselves. It is important to know the difference from self esteem and trying to look better or getting dolled up.

When you are getting ready that is not being self esteem that is only trying to give your personally a clean and good perspective. There is a huge difference when you get ready to impress others than when you dress to impress yourself and feel better about your self. Today women are seen as lack of self esteem because they wear makeup. It is not that way make up for women is seen as art and when practicing is a stress reliever.

2.The Seed of creativity

"Releasing your creative energy"

creativity comes from the heart when you put work into it. When you want something to come out at its best you give it your all meaning effort. For example when given a project and have to come up with things of your own and being creative.

3. The Seed of Responsibility

"Whatever we sow, we reap."

     When trying to understand the concept of responsibility you think duties and jobs assignments work etc. But do we really know what responsibility is. Many people answer that is something you have to do because they told you to do so. Although it is not this way responsibility connects with commitment it is more of a duty to yourself it reflects on who you are and how well you say you are.                                             

"We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the                                                      responsibility for our future."

4. The Seed of Wisdom

"A large vocabulary--which implies broad, general knowledge--characterizes the more successful persons, regardless of their occupations."

Having wisdom doesn't necessary make you a professional or a special person that has to be worshiped. Having wisdom only helps you and what you decide in life. Wisdom is the quality of having experience or knowledge, a good quality of judgement, and the quality  of being wise. People gain wisdom once you have experienced through life or have learned through others experience. For example when you parents tell you to study to obtain a career to be your own boss and not have to work for someone else is because they have gone through and did not like the experience and wouldn't want you to go through it either. At some point in life after you go through some obstacles you begin to realize the true side to life and to why everyone tell you to study, do not mess up, you will thank me later, you will see once you have your kids. All of those comments are wisdom experience that you have been through that has made you a better person and you can help others avoid the hard obstacle. Wisdom makes you a great person because you gain knowledge and a better perspective of life.

Goal setting is the instrument with living with purpose, if we fail to set goals, we fail to achieve any. Everything in life has a purpose, a goal, to achieve or accomplish.

Once you set your goals then come determination which are the steps to building your goals. You can start off by planing short term goals like one to two days, then g off by two to three weeks, then months. When you are releasing these goals you also have to plan on how it is that you are going to make these goals happen. After a couple accomplishment then go big do one to two year goal and then you can do your life goal.

6.The Seed of communication

"Reach out and touch someone"

Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place to another. Communication can be done in many ways, for example talking face to face, through social medial, body language, face gestures, and sign language. Sometimes when you apply for a job they require you to have communication skills that fall into the category of customer service. Which is basically knowing how to properly communicate with another person through verbally speaking and body language. Your body language plays a huge role in defining your personality and who you are. If you show active movement, good posture, nice presentation and a smile than you are more likely to be a positive person.

7. The seed of Faith

"The power of positive believing"

 Having faith doesn't only have to do with religion. When people tell you have faith or have hope it means think positive, Think you can. Having faith means having full trust and confidence on someone or something. For example a chair is used to help define faith. We know the chair is designed to support a person who sits on it. Trust is actually sitting on the chair. The same goes for anything else. Think positive and positive things will happen act positive and your results will be positive. Many people believe on god but they do not actually see him. That is  huge example of faith, it means believing for completely with your eyes closed that something is truth without doubting it. Instead of being nervous for a test have full faith that you are going to do good. However you can not rely on positive results when your actions are not being positive.

8. Adaptability

"Turning problems into Opportunities"

Humans were made to  adaptable to everything and anything. yet fear overtakes the our will. Adaptability means being able to adjust or change to new conditions, rules, or plan. Ever since land was found, people have been looking for ways on how to improve their way of living and within that requires adaptability. For example for some odd reason animal farming begins to decrease due to a plague that has been hitting the animals and animal death rates increase, which means less meat production. People will start eating more fruits and change their way of eating or look for other options that go beyond their routine. Adaptability combine flexibility and versatility. Flexibility is your willingness to adapt, its your attitude. Versatility is your ability to adapt. Our level of adaptability can be stronger in some situations than others.

"The will to win is everything"

Perseverance is the ability to keep going even if things are not working or you have no hope. In others words it defines "not giving up" and always keep going. There are two types of people who succeed in life those who believe in themselves even if things aren't going right, and those who keep going forward even though they don't believe in themselves. Success will come when you least expect it, so the more you wait for it desperately then longer it will take. When you persevere in life, you get closer and closer to where yo want to be. Because you may not get it right the first time but after the practice of perseverance you may master in what you persevered in.

"Success doesn't happen overnight.Keep your eye on the prize and don't look back."

You can not move forward if you keep taking the same route and keep failing take a different route or open one up to give you the results you want. For example sometimes the human mind goes for the physical instead of the inside. Look at things differently try to acknowledge the inside of the person before analyzing the outside and then judge.
