“Just because something has always been done in a certain way is never a sufficient reason for continuing to do it that way.”
~ Clarence Birdseye
How would we ever evolve if we just kept doing everything the same way? We wouldn’t!
Though we know that things have to change, it doesn’t necessarily make it any easier. Habits and patterns can take on a life of their own. Witness any addict and you’ll see that they’re not the ones in control, the addiction is.
You know why the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years? Because it took a whole new generation — a whole new way of thinking — to fully embrace the new life. Lasting transformation, my friend, requires releasing the old ways completely.
Remember, the sooner you let go of the old, the more smoothly and quickly you’ll move into the new.
