We get comfortable with life and get habits that we stay with and to some degree for life. Are you stubborn and not willing to change? I was for some time as well. I was often accused of being anal retentive. My books had to be in a specific order and if someone moved one to be funny I felt myself coming unglued!
I decided I didn’t want to be held hostage by my habits that made me feel safe and comfortable. I started mixing books up on purpose. I’ve made uncomfortable changes over the last few years.
