Hebrews 6:1

Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God. 

Sometimes we just need to move on and leave the old ways behind.  The bible calls dead works as works of the flesh and sin.  Our goal is to walk in love, joy, peace, longsuffering, and self-control.  When we decide to change it may take practice and determination to see it through.  The decision to walk a different life and a better life with God makes all the difference to our futures
