How many times do we lose our keys? We disappoint ourselves because often it is simply a mindless mistake. Our mind is on something else, our thoughts are scattered and we’re not focused on the task at hand. Maybe instead of putting our keys back in the designated ‘key spot’ we go for convenience and foolishly think we will remember. It is one thing to lose a key to our house or car. But los- ing keys is especially troubling when important keys are on the ring like office, church, store, worksite, or some other door we are responsible for—there are other people to think about. What to do? Stop. Take a deep breath. Think. (Pray!) Close your eyes and go back to the last place you had them. Where do you last remember seeing the key?
When something important is lost, we must go back to the last place we held it in our hands.
