Helping deal with and accept change

00:00
Who moved my cheese is about dealing with change in your work and in your life
00:09
Cheese being a metaphor for what you want in life
00:13
everyone has their own idea what cheese means to them and we go after it
00:17
because it makes us happy
00:18
the maze in the story represents where we look for cheese or our happiness your
00:24
cheese is always changing
00:26
should not get comfortable in relying on your cheese to always be how or where
00:30
you left it in doing so help you deal with change and bring your greatest
00:34
success no matter how you define success for yourself
00:38
the four characters in the story represent parts of us and it's up to you
00:42
to identify which parts you are now and which would rather be from now on
00:46
there's two mice who don't overthink everything and just get on with life
00:52
SNIFF sniffs out the change and is ready for it
00:56
SCURRY goes into action immediately without needing to know all the
01:00
information then there's two little people really smart people who've done
01:05
well for themselves so far
01:06
HEM likes to stay in a safe familiar territory and HAW is slow to adapt to
01:12
change but is open-minded SNIFF and SCURRY go out and seek new cheese everyday
01:19
HEMand HAW comfortably rely on their past knowledge and experience on the show themselves
01:23
the cheese will be right where they left it a manhole even move their house close
01:28
to the cheese and built a social life around it
01:31
they became so comfortable they didn't even notice what was happening
01:35
SNIFF and SCURRY noticed the cheese was diminishing and that one day it wasn't
01:40
there they were not surprised they were prepared knew what to do. Thhe situation
01:45
has changed so they decided to change they sniffed and scurried in search of
01:50
new cheese HEM and HAW had not been paying attention to the changes they
01:55
took it for granted and were unprepared how could this have happened they
01:59
thought nobody warned them they wanted to believe somebody moved their cheese
02:03
and didn't want to believe that they had failed to notice it getting smaller and
02:06
smaller every day. HEMs complicated brain and deep belief system demanded to
02:11
know why this had been done to him while HEM and HAW busy worrying about what
02:15
happened to them
02:15
SNIFF and SCURRY we're already how find a new cheese in uncharted territory and it
02:20
didn't take long before they found new cheese and started enjoying life again
02:24
HEM andHAW remain bitter and angry about not having their own cheese complaining
02:29
how life was unfair to them they got used to being comfortable and now afraid
02:33
to go find new cheese they got stuck in a habit of doing the same things over
02:38
and over again I'm wondering why things didn't get better eventually HAW
02:43
realize the cheese was never coming back
02:45
may have to face his fears and go find new cheese finally stop blaming others
02:50
and took responsibility for himself after all it is safe in a search in the
02:55
maze then remain in it she's worse situation as whole enjoyed his new found
03:00
cheese he reflected on past mistakes and realize nothing got better until he changed
03:04
he didn't like it at the time but the change was a blessing in disguise
03:09
HEM was too stubborn a proud or just simply unwilling to change
03:14
nobody knows what became of him move with the cheese
