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.

Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:


Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.


Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:


Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Cars don't want to start. And then without proper warm up they don't run well. LOL! Lots of always running vehicles. And the last couple years the enviro wackos are having a fit. Put one of them up there and see how much better they can do.
