The
people we remember to thank, in person, with a thoughtful note or
gesture, or a phone call, are infinitely more likely to help us again
than those we take for granted or neglect to thank. It’s so obvious, yet
so few people really understand how this works.
People love to be acknowledged, admired, and thanked. People love to be thanked, not out of any selfish need but simply because it feels good to be acknowledged. And when we are sincerely acknowledged, the acknowledgment acts as reinforcement that we have done the right thing. Thus, we want to do it again.
The next time you do something really nice or helpful for someone and they thank you, take note of how it makes you feel.
It’s true that there are many instances where you would help someone again without expecting any thanks. However, you’ll find yourself even more willing to help someone who expresses their gratitude and acknowledged your help.
By engaging in constant gratitude, you’ll be guaranteeing success, happiness and better relationships.
