Live to Eat or Eat to Live

This week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina:
What is the Monday Morning Message?

A letter that I’ve just read contained the following :

“Why do so many office workers put in a good solid morning’s work and then waste half the afternoon by dawdling? The chances are at least even it is because they eat “not too wisely but too well” at lunch. “There’s a reason for the wandering mind and sleepy brain—and usually the stomach is IT.”

My observation tells me that Mrs. Westbrook’s Cafeteria foods are so tempting that most of us eat too much lunch. Try balancing up your food. I know some of you would be better off if you would cut down on your noon meal.

Try it, won’t you? I like to see action!

Kill Them One at a Time

This week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina:
What is the Monday Morning Message?

Are you trying to fight some enemy in the dark?

If you could see him, you could conquer him, because you are stronger than he. Bring him out in the sunlight. That particular bad habit; that obstacle that keeps looming up before you; procrastination, lack of system or what not—drag them out in the sunlight and have it out with them once and for all.

Try licking one enemy this week and another next week, and so on and see what a difference it makes in your life.

Most of you won’t do this, but some of you will. If you lick one this week, you can lick another next.

Cathy’s Commentary:

I got several points out of this Monday Morning Message.

This week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina:
What is the Monday Morning Message?

When a Man’s Mind is Half Made Up…
WHERE does he land? During this week wouldn’t we grow tremendously if we went gunning for that word HALF?

Half a truth.
Half made up.
Half convinced.
Half enthused.
Half sick.
Half shaved.
Half dressed.

Lord, deliver me from being Half anything. Think it over.

Our Greatest Need—Fresh Energy

This week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina:
What is the Monday Morning Message?

We go along in the even tenor of our way until we read a book, hear a sermon, or meet a man with vital power, which starts us off with a new purpose in life.

If you feel that you are at low ebb, or going along in a humdrum way, better get acquainted with that book, or that man, who will stir you to the depths. If you feel the need, then you will find the way to get a new start. Is there any real reason why anybody should remain at low ebb?

                                SATURDAY
                            UP
                        UP
                    UP
               UP
MONDAY

“Every day in every way I’m going Up—Up—Up.”
