I’ve been reading some of my older homiletics books and I came across a quote I don’t ever remember reading.

It’s an unbelievable quote that I’ll be leveraging publicly sometime in the future, but it also has tremendous application for me personally as well.

“The reason you can’t teach an old dog new tricks is not that he is incapable of learning them. It is that he is quite content with his mastery of the old tricks, and thinks that learning new tricks is strictly for puppies. Besides, he is busy paying off the mortgage on the dog house.” -John W. Gardner
