When an Old Formula Isn’t Working

“You’re not stuck. You’re just committed to certain patterns of behavior because they helped you in the past.

“Now those behaviors have become more harmful than helpful. The reason why you can’t move forward is because you keep applying an old formula to a new level in your life.

“Change the formula to get a different result.”

— Emily Maroutian⁣⁣

“No one cuts up a fine silk scarf to patch old work clothes; you want fabrics that match.

And you don’t put wine in old, cracked bottles; you get strong, clean bottles for your fresh vintage wine.

And no one who has ever tasted fine aged wine prefers unaged wine.”

— Christ Jesus, Luke 5:36-39, the Message version
