Then in his presence the altars of the Baals were torn down, and the incense altars that were above them he chopped down. The Asherah poles, the carved images, and the cast images he shattered, crushed to dust, and scattered over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. 2 Chronicles 34:4
Change is often difficult. Changing habits and lifestyle is typically more difficult because of the old routines and embedded thoughts and actions that are hard to break. Small disruptions in those routines will usually leave the door open to those old, unwanted behaviors to return. Sometimes we need to go big and be drastic with our change. As Cortex once famously demonstrated when he burned the ships so that the only option for his crew was to move forward into uncharted jungles, we must burn our own "ships" and leave us with only one option, moving forward.
Lord, help me to be bold enough to make drastic changes so that I may change drastically.
