When my personal comfort is the motivation behind bailing on promises/appointments or sticking to stale routine, that communicates to the universe that comfort comes before evolution.  I suspect that upon detecting this, the universe stops taking me seriously.  Now IMHO, it’s perfectly fine to bail on my word or to stick to a routine, but only if it furthers my personal evolution.  

It’s not about what makes me comfortable, it’s about what makes me better.
