Bad Habits

I have a neighbour. Every time he comes in or goes out of his house, he locks the back door (we all go out of our back doors to get to the car park). It does not matter if he has come in for the evening or has just decided to pop out the 20 metres to his car to get something. Sometimes, during the evening he can lock and unlock it multiple times as he throws stuff in his refuse bin.

What is going on? If I told you he also keeps the curtains drawn at all times, what conclusion would you come to? That he likes his privacy or would it be something else?

He doesn’t pass the time of day or get into conversations with any of his neighbours either and, not surprisingly, his teenage son behaves in a very similar way.

My take on it is that he lacks trust: he doesn’t trust people to leave his door open. On a warm day like today I always leave my back door open as I love fresh air. I have never had any problems in 20 years. In fact the only time I did have any problems was when the door was locked and I got burgled!

There are lots of theories regarding universal laws and, the law of attraction is that we bring to us what we focus on, so, if you don’t trust then people end up doing the very things you are scared they will do.

So, what are your bad habits that come to you via your beliefs? What are you living in fear of? What are you going to do to change that?
