The Seeds of Greatness

Many desire a great, fulfilling and prosperous life. Yes, you must know what you want, but then you should be a ready and able to do what’s required to get it. Success is not accidental; things don’t just happen. In fact, we daily reap what we have sown. And that’s a vital principle of life. Instead of just hoping good things come your way, you can consciously determine what is it that you want and work towards it.
If you require greatness- then sow the seeds of greatness. The seed of vision, purpose, attitude, persistence, courage toward your dream. And as you do: don’t worry whether or not ‘it’s going to happen’. It will, if you keep going. If you plant tomato seed and you water it and makes sure it gets sunlight and nourishment, guess what? Tomatoes will eventually grow. But you can’t plant tomato seed, hoping that maize will grow. It’s the same with your dream. If you want success, you must plant for success instead of failure. You don’t set out for the north by walking east, do you? Of course not! You have to be walking in the right direction to get where you’re going. Simple but true.

Set the vision. Do the work. Move in the right direction. Monitor your progress every week and month. If it helps, make a chart. You are the only you that you’ve got, so don’t take you for granted. Train, be disciplined, and honour your mind, body and spirit. Come to the table knowing that you bring value to everything you touch. When you know this, not believe it, but know it- you’ll begin to see the fruits of your labour. You’ll begin to drastically attract things and people who can make your dreams a reality. When you listen to yourself, people will start to listen to you also. So put a premium on yourself- you’re special.
The seeds of greatness include: to think big; be positive; to follow your passion; learn something new everyday; listen to your gut; be patient, put a great team behind you; put beauty in everything you do; learn to negotiate, because everything you want demands it; always go for the biggest win possible; take risks; be audacious and get into public eye; be your own brand; Say no; get out of your comfort zone; be stubborn when necessary; always have a plan b; never settle for second best; be focused; put everything you've got into what you do; believe in yourself-if you don't no one else will; be tenacious; be in charge. Your actions are all seeds, so always make sure you are sowing the seeds of greatness.
