The Key To Repeating The Same Mistake THREE Times


Back on July 10th...I managed to lock us out of the house with the spare key in the other side of the door. (You can read about what happened here)

At the time...this is what I wrote...

"Who said that you can't (eventually) learn from things that happen to you...even if it does take TWO attempts to remind you!

And...if we ever get locked out and can't easily get back in again...then it IS my fault!"

Guess what happened today?

Lesley locked us out with my key still in the back of the door!

Even though it was her 'fault'...I was angry with myself because this meant that, along with the front door, we had also left keys in both of the back doors! (even though I said at the time that we shouldn't).

Ever had something happen to you like that when you KNOW that you should have done something at the time...didn't...and had to pay the consequences?

So...just in case I didn't get the message from the two previous efforts of locking ourselves out (both times we managed to get back in)...this time we spent a couple of hours trying...and couldn't.

So...I'm now a wasted afternoon and $70 down for calling out for a locksmith!

Do you think that I'll learn my lesson NOW?

I purposely make sure that I don't repeat 'mistakes' in most areas of my life because I KNOW what effect they can have of holding me back...but, it seems that I still need to improve on a few more things!
