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.
Cathy’s Commentary:
How often do we do something halfway? We say we are going to do something, but we keep one foot out the door, afraid to give our all. By not fully committing to a course of action, we may seek to protect ourselves. After all, if it doesn’t work out, well, we were never really all that invested anyway.
It happens with jobs, projects, relationships, business ventures…how often do you hold back and only give half of yourself?
If something is worth doing, than it is worth giving 100%. If it is not worth giving 100%, it is not worth doing.
