It doesn’t hold on to medieval practices because they are tradition.

Goals. There's no telling what you can do when you get inspired by them. There's no telling what you can do when you believe in them. There's no telling what will happen when you act upon them.
You need to live a little bit outside your comfort zone because you can be even more than you dream of.
Few men during their lifetime come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.
