That Which is of No Worth

2 Nephi 9:51
"Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy. Hearken diligently unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come unto the Holy One of Israel, and feast upon that which perisheth not"

Wasting time is so easy. Wasting money is so easy.
Facebook is distracting. Vending machines are tempting. Overeating is a hard habit to break.
How much better off would we be if we stopped doing things which were of no worth?
We'd wake up a few hours earlier on Saturday; we'd get things done.
We'd stop eating when we weren't hungry; we'd be healthier.

We'd stop spending hours looking at our cousin's-friend's-brother-in-law's-fiancee's engagement bridal photos.

Remember the words, and "feast upon that which perisheth not. "
"Do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy."
Hard work is lasting and meaningful. Facebook is not.
