A new dawn beckons....Part IV

Last evening I completed another fine book, which was part of  my collections for quite some time. I loved it, to say the least. I should have read it much earlier, it was such a well known book. The title is "Who moved my cheese" by Spencer Johnson. I'll quickly share the important messages that you get from this wonderful little book, you need to interpret it in your own suitable way.

The characters in the book:

1. Sniff: - Who sniffs out changes early
2. Scurry - Who scurries into action
3. Hem - Who denies and resists changes as he fears it will lead to something worse
4. Haw - Who learns to adapt in time when he sees changing can lead to something better

The environment:

1. The Cheese - A metaphor for what one wants in life, e.g. a good job, a loving relationship, money etc
2. The Maze - Where you look for what you want

The lessons:

1. Having cheese makes you happy
2. The more important your cheese is to you the more you want to hold on to it
3. If you don't change,you become extinct
4. What would you do if you were not afraid?
5. Smell the cheese often so you know when its getting old
6. Movement in a new directon helps you find new cheese
7. When you stop being afraid, you feel good
8. Imagining yourself enjoying your new cheese leads you to it
9. The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese
10. Its safer to search in the maze than to remain in a cheese-less station
11. Old belief don't lead you to new cheese
12. When you see that you can find and enjoy new cheese, you change course
13. Noticing small changes early, helps you adapt to the bigger changes that are to come
14. Move with the change and enjoy it

Enjoy life....Thought for the day: BE READY FOR CHANGE.
