Seed is an extremely important metaphor! We are all seeds! We all carry inside us a lot of seeds! Seed is a symbol of potential, life, and growth. A beautiful blossom already exists within a flower seed, even before it is planted. With the right mixture of soil, sunlight, and rain, the flower’s colour, scent, and form naturally emerge in their fullest expression. It is also true that flowers and trees grow toward the light. They seek it out, stretching out of the shadows in order to reach it—sideways if necessary. They seem to figure out on their own where the sun falls. Once they do, they show an unflappable determination to get there. Similarly, as human beings, we have a natural inclination to grow toward what we desire, striving for the things that give us meaning and joy—the sunlight of life, such as friendships, romantic relationships, fulfilling jobs, and a comfortable home. The book is a compilation of exercises or tools, validated by positive psychology researchers across the world to enhance our wellbeing. Like the law of gravitation and other universal principles, they have been discovered and sharpened by many researchers and experts.
