Your Mental Attitude - Cornerstone

Waste of time is one of the most costly ex­penses on life’s ledger . . .
it can never be reimbursed.

Thousands of people would never have expe­rienced the bitterness and helplessness
of want if they had not first been guilty of WASTE.

There is a constant dissipation of thought and feeling, just as there is of physical energies. Each in turn exacts its heavy toll from us.

Dissipation of thought and feeling proves wasteful and ruinous to the mind and heart
the same process is equally as destructive to health and strength of the body.

As one man puts it: “Dreamy revelries, desul­tory reading, unregulated and scattering thought, plans formed without reason, or never carried out to wise results, are as truly dissipation of the soul as the wildest revelries and indulgences are of the body.”

Waste produces decay, stagnation, barrenness,
unproductivity, lack, ruin, destruction, want.

Wasting time on the job or money from our savings doesn’t make much difference…
both have the same end result.

Squandering or wasting time can never be accurately tabulated for us, but most of us are keenly aware of how destructive it can be and how terrifically costly.

YOU can do something about it by develop­ing the habit of thrift. By substituting thrift for waste, you will have made an extremely valuable forward step.

Cultivate this important thrift habit in all things . . . be saving of your time .. . on the job or off . . . saving of materials and equip­ment . . . on the job or off . . . thrifty with physical energies . . . thrifty with unregulated and scattered thinking. .

It will pay YOU big dividends in all direc­tions to cultivate this all-important habit of being thrifty with your time, energy, thoughts and material possessions. Learn to be careful in avoiding waste or dissipation in the small things and the larger ones will automatically fall into the same pattern.

It is entirely up to YOU during each day to calculate and control WHAT PRICE you want to pay for WASTE. We never fail because we are too thrifty in safeguarding our time, thoughts or physical energies . . . but because we are not thrifty enough.

Hi Ma :)
The children pictures always get me too. It so true, our Heroes are fighting protecting Freedom, in hopes that someday they won't have to. God Bless them!

No visit with Poppa today..
The drugs they gave me for the bursitis supress the immune system....
to lessen the response to the inflammation..
I cannot be around people who have colds or the flu..
Alot of folks in Poppas facility have bad colds..
The Nurse there told me to stay home..
Sigh

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very nice, t. Happy Sunday to you and the kids.

[GodBlessUSA]

I can't imagine the cold like -52. It must be so difficult for people to deal with that kind of weather. Does a car even run in that temperature. I would love to have the 72 in Dallas or that 81 in Austin. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Yum! Mexican. Lucky. LOL It's starting to rain. I just went to market and now Free Republic for the day. :)

[Majie Purple]
