I use Google pretty much everyday. So much so…today I googled “how to get rid of red and brown ants”. I kid you not. I have an ant problem and I tried this baking soda and icing sugar trick and that did not work. No exploding ants here. They are now on full-scale invasion mode and I need to get rid of them in the most humane way possible. Suggestions welcome…feel free to share your tips below.
Right, so I use Google everyday but let’s face it, while the internet is an invaluable source for information it is also chock full of opinions, made up facts and porn. Yes I said it. The internet has porn. Nuff said.
George Bernard Shaw said, “Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.”
…and I agree with him…believing a lie is worse than living in a bubble. At least if you’re in a bubble it will burst eventually and you will have access to the truth. But if all the information you have is a lie…then you’re like those poor people duped by that fake sign language interpreter.
Of course nothing is true, unless and until you believe it to be so. Thus, you better know that what you know is in fact true!
When I chose my One Word:Truth for 2013 it was with the specific intention to get comfortable in my own skin because this is where I live. Getting comfortable in my own skin means being authentic. It means listening to my “gut” more often. It means tapping into and listening to that “woman’s intuition” which some women I am guilty of dumbing down and disregarding. If something doesn’t feel right…it probably isn’t. I’ve learned the hard way that believing a lie is worse than ignorance!
How do you know that what you know is true:
Be impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. ~ Miguel Angel Ruiz
And that my dear friends…is something you can’t google!
