In the real world, talking to a complete stranger is a challenge. Online we do it all the time. It’s become our second nature. We type from the hip.

Think about it. Every email, every IM, every tweet you send not only forms an impression of you, it also represents an infinity of choices you had. You had a choice to be polite or nasty, forthcoming or reserved, calm or irritated, understanding or pissed, helpful or arrogant.

Your every choice of action and its consequence is your Karma. You reap what you saw. Your entire life is the consequence of choices you made in every moment of the past.

Most people pay their karmic dues, without realizing it. It’s often painful, but in the universe no action goes without reaction.

So if you want peace, be understanding and polite, and not only to your customers. If you want abundance, be generous. If you want to be more productive, stop wasting other people’s time. To be lighthearted and joyful, make a choice to not be defensive and resentful. Attract instead of persuading. And stop sending “Do I know you?” messages in response to the Facebook invites…

I don’t believe in coincidences. Do you?
