A significant portion of our lives these days are lived online. Whilst this can bring many benefits for business and networking, there are also traps involved that endanger our patterns of thinking, our habits and our influence in the world. A lot of internet discourse is focused on gossip, fear-mongering and ridiculing others. Keyboard warriors are at the ready with the confidence and self-assurance that they will never be held accountable for their words face to face. However, if you want to be a better person, feel better about yourself and improve the world in which we live, focus on building other people up. Where you see weakness, show compassion; where you see something that annoys you, keep scrolling or add something productive. Threatening others or belittling people who have different opinions to yours is not something that adds to your life. Rational discussion can be enriching, but when two people are unwilling to hear each other, sometimes it is best to disengage for the peace in your own mind. Great people do not step on others to get ahead, they use and support the strength of others around them.
