by Denis Waitley
1) The seed of self-esteem(Appreciate the value of yourself)
"From self- love to self- worth"
- This is a good seed because in order to succeed in life you have to learn that you're worth something and you'll also need to learn how to love yourself. Having confidence is the way to go because without that you'll not be able to achieve anything because you'll think you are not good enough or that you cant do it but never say never and you cant give up, believe in yourselves that you can do it. Motivation can also achieve the things that you want to achieve.
2) The seed of Creativity
"Releasing your creative energy"
- Creativity is characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, and to make connections. Being creative is a good thing because it expresses who you are as a person and it shows you that you are unique and can think outside of the box using your imagination. This also shows that you are original and not just a copy. Its really hard to be creative because this means you have to think outside the box and think of something unique and amazing. Creativity involves thinking and producing.

- Responsibility is the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something. This is a good seed because it can help you with many things like for example doing the right things and having respect towards others. Sometimes people dont want to take the responsibility but that's the good thing to do. Don't use excuses and take the responsibility.
4) The seed of Wisdom

9) The seed for Perseverance "The will to win is everything."
- Perseverance is the steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. This means that you never give up even though it might be hard for you at first. Difficult doesn't stop you from anything. Perseverance also means the ability and self control that pushes you to work through challenges. Having perseverance means that when you are facing a challenge, you use your mind and your body to overcome it. You are also able to wait and work through difficulties, whether they have to do with your mind, your body, or your emotions. Having your mind set in something is also a good thing because once you start something you have to finish it.

10) The seed of Perspective "Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude."
- a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something a point of view. It also means the way you see things. Everyone can picture something different because they are looking at the same thing but in a different way. Sometimes we need to see things from a different perspective.
Reflection: I would incorporate the 10 seeds of greatness to my everyday life because with these seeds I am able to become a better person. They should me to look at different perspective of things and they also showed me that no matter how difficult the challenge is I always have to work hard to achieve them. I have also learned to never give up and to keep trying. Another thing I learned was to be confident and believe in myself that i could do it.
