Developing Your Seeds

There are seeds of success everywhere!  We only need to become aware of them and plant them - which is, in essence, to embrace them.  Once we make that move, it is then time to develop those seeds.  Here are some ways to initiate this process.

First, be sure you have grasped what is the potential and value of the seed.  Work to learn everything you can concerning the seed .  Once this is done, develop a means to help this seed become a habit.  Over time the habit will become a natural part of who you are.  

Here are four steps to help you with an example - Reading.

     Step One - Learn how to read a book.
     Step Two - Realize the value of good books.
     Step Three - Make reading a habit.
     Step Four - Read continually.

If you are desiring to be successful and realize your full potential then you must read.  Reading is the doorway to a vast storehouse of more seeds.  One of the most valuable books on reading is How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler and Charles L. Van Doren.

          "Success is a continuing thing.  It is growth and development.  It is achieving one
          thing and using that as a stepping stone to achieve something else."
          --John C. Maxwell
