Is Your Mind “Growling?”

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our mind growled like our stomach does when it is hungry? – Zig Ziglar

But your mind does “growl” when it’s hungry.

Just like junk food will ruin your health and increase your weight, so it goes with junk mental food.

You are both what you eat and what you think, feed both your body and mind well.
