“We’ve always done it this way…”

The phrase everyone hates to hear when they’re trying to make a difference. Or do something that could make things better. 

Long-held beliefs, the “regular” way of doing things… These are just examples of the status quo doing what the status quo does. 

If you look back far enough, at anything that’s become accepted as “normal,” you’ll find that the status quo was once new and radical too…

And that means one thing: “the way it’s always been done,” is NOT the way it’s always been done.
