Just Words - Action vs Re-Action

Hello everyone San here again with another great word,

ACTION - An act that one consciously wills and that may be characterized by physical or mental activity.

RE-ACTION - Action in response to some influence or event.

These two words mirror each other and you cannot have one without the other.

The one thing I have found in my life is for every ACTION there is an equal or more than equal RE-ACTION.

A re-action can either be negative or positive, there is no definite way to predict which one you will get. You can however remain positive in your action and re-actions. (Yes I know I have misspelled reaction, it is done for literary effect)

I attempt to get positive re-actions, a lot of time I get the opposite, but that does not keep me from moving on towards my goal. I tend to take negative re-actions as an opportunity to improve myself. I therefore have begun to love negative re-actions or feedback to my work.

YOU ARE NOT PERFECT, DO NOT EXPECT TO BE

It took me quite some time to be able to accept the negative way some people would react to my rantings like this one. I am not objectionable to change, I embrace change, it is just some changes are very hard to embrace because they poke you with very tiny needles of envy, self doubt and vengeance for what others have done.

Learning to accept negative or positive re-actions to my actions has been the biggest growth in my life and I know there are others who struggle with this.

While positive feedback gives me a great feeling and I love it, it is misleading and is only good for a guide for what I am doing right.

While negative feedback gives me a guide for what I am not doing right and must either change or improve on. Some look at this as constructive criticism and it may well be, still it is what it is, criticism. When it is used in a manner to feed my improvement it is good, but when it is used to just cut and weaken it is this re-action I needed to learn from.

It was this imperfection I needed to overcome and put behind me. I expected to become perfect and get a quick fix. There are no quick fixes for this, you must expect to fail, time and time again. I know I did, but you will get there with practice.

I leave you with a poem or a quote from a poem, while it refers to the masculine in the poem it is directed towards both the feminine and the masculine.

WHEN NATURE WANTS A MAN

By

Angela Morgan

When Nature wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man,
And skill a man.
When Nature wants to mould a man....

Nature's plan is wondrous kind
Could we understand her mind . . .
Fools are they who call her blind.
When his feet are torn and bleeding
Yet his spirit mounts unheeding,
All his higher powers speeding,
Blazing newer paths and fine;
When the force that is Divine
Leaps to challenge every failure and his ardour still is sweet
And love and hope are burning in the presence of defeat . . .

Lo, the crisis! Lo, the shout
That must call the leader out.
When the people need salvation
Doth he come to lead the nation. . . .
Then doth Nature show her plan
When the world has found - a MAN!


Revel in the fact you are tested by others, it is Nature's way of making you into the person you should be. This is the best Re-Action to Nature's Action. You are special, you have a gift, everyone does one thing better than anyone else, let it come to you and you will reap the reward of it.


I am always at your service,


San

Very profound poem and I always believe it is best to empower someone be all that they can or want to be, sometimes no matter how you put something some people will feel hurt or offended so long as we are doing it for the right thing... hope this makes sense

Hi Katie,
It all makes sense, you always do. The only actions you can control are yours, no matter how you act there will always be those who do not like it or get offended by your actions. Your heart is in the right place, theirs may not be or it may be and it is just a misunderstanding.
Either way, differences give us all a chance to learn something new about others and about ourselves.

San

So very true thank you San have a lovely day

You too.

Hi San,
It's good to hear from you again. You must be busy cause you've been quite lately. Your right about the action and reaction. Though we cannot control other people's action, we can control our re-actions. I always to choose the humble road and learn from the experience.

HI Sheila,
We moved from the Philippines back to the states, took two months to get settled again. I will be more of a presence now, glad you noticed I have not been around.

San

Hmmm! Allot to think about and you delivered this message very well.
Good to hear from you San.
I liked the poem, it says allot.
I feel when a person fails at something in their lives, something better always happens. I am like you I embrace it cause it always makes me a much stronger and better person. Builds good character in a very good way, positive way. If a person decides to take it in a negative way. It will most likely hurt that person.
Linda :))

Negative reactions only hurt those who have them. Negativity is destructive in more ways than most people understand. I do not allow negative things into my head, when I find them there I immediately escort them out.
Negative People are the same as negative thoughts, I try to overcome them with positive, if I cannot then I walk away knowing I did what I could for them but I cannot allow negative people to remain in my life because it does have an effect on me.
But that is another post and I will be putting it up soon.
Good to hear from you again Linda,
Thanks,
San

San I totally agree with you about negative people and the negative thoughts. It is like poison to have negative people in your life that can not see beyond negativity. I have had such people and for every negative word I was replacing it with a positive one. And then I decided one day enough was enough. That was the best thing I ever did.

Good post San. Many people have latent skills they don't even realise they possess.

Very true, I found this out about myself. The reason I did not know about it sooner was I did not take the time to get to know myself. This is a very important thing in life to know one's self, sorry for getting philosophical but it is true.
Thanks for commenting my friend.

San

You're right San, and I've had a long time to get to know myself!

Nice Post San, Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Darwyn

Thanks Darwyn,
Missed hearing from you.

Yeagh San, I haven't been on as much recently. My wife had her tonsils taken out several weeks ago, so I was really busy around the house with the kids, work and a convalescing patient! All good now my friend. It's nice to be back involved. Thanks for the kind words San. I really appreciate it.

I hope everything is good with you and your family my friend. I really appreciate you as well and all the comments you make on my work. Good to hear you are back to work as well.

San

Great Blog, interesting and informative and something to think about and take in. Great

Thank you for saying so,
Love to give people food for thought and something to ponder while they work.

This is so very true. Great blog... thanks!

Thank you for saying that. I put some work into it, wanted to lift others up and show them they have the skills needed to get it done and make a success story of their lives.

San

Profound and thoughtful.
Thanks San!

You are welcome,
