The Seed of Perspective

Can you re-frame?

Denis Waitley closes his book, Seeds of Greatness, with his tenth and final seed – perspective. Perspective is how you see life from within. The seeds of greatness are all about developing responses and attitudes that help you see the world in a more positive way. When you see things from the positive side, you grow more self-esteem, you see yourself as more valuable. Your imagination creates and soars.

I like the use of the term 're-frame', as a way of always looking to 'frame' the situation to the positive. Even the most difficult of times can be re-framed to find something good. Have the courage to adapt and to change your perspective in all situations, especially when times are tough.

The Ten Seeds of Greatness: 

1. Self Esteem
2. Creativity
3. Responsibility
4. Wisdom 

5. Purpose

6. Communication

7. Faith

8. Adaptability

9. Perseverance

10. Perspective

It has been fun for me to go back through my notes from a book I read over 20 years ago. I hope you have enjoyed these thoughts on the Seeds of Greatness.
