Interactions are a privilege. Privilege is earned because someone trusts we will bring our best to them and then, in turn, offer theirs.
Interactions don't last very long when there is no tooth in them. Unless there is a meaningful exchange of thoughts, opinions, listening, or expressions, there is very little energy for the interaction to carry on.
We only realize the importance of engaging and fueling dialogues once we see a dearth. Often, we take it for granted that we will get opportunities for interaction. It comes from the sense of entitlement overpowering us. Clearly, interaction is an earned right. We can rarely demand it at will.
Unless we feed the interactions with valuable insights or allow ourselves the time to absorb vitals from them, they lose steam over time. The loss of privilege is damaging because right always sits on the foundation of trust.
In the connected economy, transactions are at the forefront of all our dealings. Instantaneous feedbacks, ratings, likes, comments, discounts, preapproved loans, cashback, retention, joining bonuses, etc., make us believe that we have earned the right, the privilege to be treated with respect.
While transactional interactions are necessary for daily affairs, they only provide fulfillment by advancing our trust and intent and consistently following it up with matching action!
The way to turn them into long-term interest is by fueling them with something substantive. Us!
