Who Moved My Cheese....

Have you ever read the book Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson, M.D.

If not It is a Must Read! http://www.amazon.com/Who-Moved-My-Cheese-Amazing/dp/0399144463

I sometimes forget to move with the cheese.

I get stuck just like everyone else in old habits and patterns.

Who Moved My Cheese talks about life being a Maze and the "Cheese" being whatever it is that you want in your life. It also talks about different parts of the self. Two which happen to be Mice one named Sniff and the other named Scurry, and two little mouse size people one named Hem and the other named Haw. It also goes on to speak about the writing on the wall... that writing teaches how to deal with the change, how the things that worked before no longer work, and how we need to change our old habits....

I am learning to move with the cheese, and even though I am not a "Risk" taker. I have changed alot in my life over the past 10 years... I became a co-business owner, a mom, a wife, a mother of twins, a home owner, a student, another business owner, an employee between all this, and now an American living in Canada..... the list goes on. To top off the Move to Canada. I didn't just move North, I moved North West.... Which the west coast is much different then the east coast in any light. You might would think Oh its Canada its just right there, is not so much different then America. But I have to say it is.... It reminds me of how America used to be, loyal to the products made in its own Country, Loyal to its People that live here....
I really do enjoy it here....

I have to learn that what worked in North Carolina is not going to work British Columbia.... the rules have changed and I have to learn the rules in order to know how to move with the cheese.... I have to learn that what worked today might not work tomorrow...and the person I am today will not be the person I am tomorrow.

So Instead of hemming and hawing over things that I can not change or things that have changed, I need to sniff out, be ready to scurry, to move with the cheese.... This does not mean I will jump from one extreme to another. It just means I am going to Enjoy the change and Savor the taste of new cheese.

Cheers, And Remember to Move with the Cheese.
