Theory Of Interactions ^TM

Mark Winkler, the founder of MyInteractions.com, developed the Theory of Interactions in 1995 after years of research, observation and self-reflection on what factors lead to a person's success and happiness.  Although the theory is simple in nature, it is extremely powerful in application - it can change your life.

The Theory of Interactions is:

You will enjoy more success and happiness in your life if you strive to have positive interactions and work to eliminate negative interactions.  Positive interactions build healthy relationships, which in turn lead to personal success and happiness.  Negative interactions damage relationships, leading to failure and unhappiness.

To fully understand the Theory of Interactions, you need to learn the definitions of positive and negative interactions:

Positive Interaction - an interaction where the person you interacted with leaves with a positive feeling towards you.  A positive interaction requires you to do something that has a positive impact on the person you are interacting with.

Negative Interaction - an interaction where the person you interacted with leaves with a negative feeling towards you.  A negative interaction can result from something you did or something you didn't do that was expected by the other person.

A positive interaction is only positive if it is viewed as positive by the person you had the interaction with. The Theory of Interactions is all about looking at things through the other person's eyes. To implement the theory you need to learn how to observe people and determine whether your actions are having a positive or negative impact on them. It is all about the person you are interacting with.  If you can learn how to interact with people positively on a daily basis you will be happy and successful.

The Theory of Interactions is pseudo-mathematical in nature for the following reasons.  A person that is on the receiving end of a positive interaction will lean towards having a positive influence on your success and happiness given the opportunity.  A person that is on the receiving end of a negative interaction with you will lean towards having a negative influence on your success and happiness given the opportunity.  It then becomes a matter of numbers.  You either have people pulling for you or working against you.  You can't hide from it.

The reality is that your success and happiness are a function of how other people view you.  If people view you in a positive manner, they will do things to help you.  If people view you in a negative manner, the opposite is true.  If you focus on having positive interactions with people they will help you become successful and happy.  It is that simple.

The common belief that life is all about people supports the Theory of Interactions.  If you learn how to interact with people in a positive manner, life is good.  If you interact with people in a negative manner, life becomes stressful and difficult.

Again, it sounds simple, but the problem is that most people don't know how to have positive interactions and are unaware that they are having negative interactions on a frequent basis.  It is a matter of training and self-awareness.  People want to have positive interactions but they just don't know how to have them.

Mark Winkler has spent the last 15 years developing a tool that helps people improve their interactions.  It is called the MyInteractions (MyI^TM) Tool and is available online at MyInteractions.com.  Join MyInteractions.com to tap into the power of positive interactions and enjoy more success and happiness in your life!
