This weekend we participated with @egonz, @gracerolon and @comandoyeya in a wedding event. We invited friendly couples to participate in this event that encourages a reunion between the couple.
On our behalf (@egonz and I) we have invited a couple of friends, who we have been inviting for several years and now it was time for them to attend, at the end we have seen them full of love and happiness, at one point very grateful they asked us How can we pay for this? The answer has been almost spontaneous: -If you liked it, it was useful to you and you want a couple you know to live the same experience as you, do the same for that couple, that can be the payment- I told them.
In all this I experienced a little more about the power of reciprocity, "The power of reciprocity" refers to that tendency that we all have as human beings to feel indebted (positive) and we want to return a favor or a gesture that has been done to us, this somehow generates more trust and strengthens the bonds between people.
Reciprocity applies to all areas of life, personally, socially, professionally, etc. In this case, we have done something for our friends, something that someone has done for us at some point, this has generated a gesture or feeling of gratitude that motivates them to make others live the same experience, this generates a chain of favors through good actions. Here, solidarity and much stronger ties also emerge since trust is solidified, our friends are not only grateful, they also feel a commitment to help other couples live the same as them.
Debemos entender que esto o lo que hagamos por otras personas en el aspecto positivo tiene un efecto multiplicador ya que debido a la reciprocidad genera una cadena de acciones como efecto dominó afectando a muchas personas.
Reciprocity is a very important element, whether it is a small action, an attitude or a big favor, reciprocity has a transforming effect, something like actions with compound interest. Reciprocity occurs in all areas of personal and professional life. In this case, it was the invitation for our friends to participate in a retreat, but in the work environment, when we offer a professional and excellent service to our clients, if they do not buy from us, it is very likely that they will recommend us.
That is why in situations we must act without expecting anything in return, everything has its return.
