Developing Good Operative Acts

Instilling and cultivating good operative and repeated acts or habits are the very essence of the human person. In the same way, developing insights and responding to them make us more human, a unique individual substance of rational nature.

Here are some good operative acts that we can emulate:

1. Lead and guide by becoming a model. This is an effective way differentiate desired and unacceptable behavior. Let us, for example, practice good sleep (no night outs), eat the right food (not junk ones) and dress modestly. Though some traits are to a certain degree innate in us, we derive our attitudes and mannerisms through the influence of those we are very close to or the kind of environment we are living in. We have to act according to the norms but not necessarily curtailing our freedom to act as we are.

2. Getting excited, enjoy fun, and pun. Of course, anything that is monotonous and dull will lead us to boredom if not idleness. It will make us disinterested especially during special moments like summer, semestral breaks or yuletide season. That is why we have to be continuously and actively seeking new and exciting things so to speak, celebrate life and make the most out of it. Activities like painting, gardening, stitching, or any work that sparks creativity and sustains interest is good and fun. Let us become more receptive and open to all responsibilities of life.

3. Generosity with praise. Encouragement and praise will lead us to develop self-esteem and confidence. Reprimand is good but it should be done in a mild manner, with a tender loving touch. We all deserve to be praised. However, acclamations should not go over our head. The more we stoop down we become more gentle in our ways. This ability to acknowledge others goodness becomes a filtering process that allows us to cultivate acceptable behavior; thus, fulfilling our deep-seated desire to be in "good standing" in the community.

4. Enthusiastically respond to stimuli. Let us remember, "in small things, come big ideas." Even how simple our work or achievement is, this does not matter. What is important is we have done something. Perhaps it will not be appreciated now but who knows, tomorrow it will become one great genuine idea. A masterpiece. Reciprocity is essential so that we carry on what makes us and others happy. Let us have the habits to become what we are by exploring things with enthusiasm but not forgetting our sense of historicity. Nagging is a no, but showing pleasure in our work rather will lead us to fulfillment.

5. Let us be realistic. Reality bites as they say. We have to have one foot on the ground and the other up ready to discover things without forgetting we are still humans who are vulnerable to mistakes. Let us remember always that we are both a principle of possibility and actuality. And possibilities are for real, nothing is impossible. We can always actualize, we are rational, we can do it, we can have it. It is just a matter of developing what is desirable and that which befits us.
