Who moved my cheese

[00:11.13]“Who moved my cheese?” [00:12.51]is a story about change that takes place in a Maze where four amusing characters look for “Cheese” [00:20.99]- cheese being a metaphor for what we want to have in life, whether it is a job, a relationship, money, [00:28.43]a big house, freedom, health, recognition, spiritual peace, or even an activity like jogging or golf. [00:37.68]Each of us has our own idea of what Cheese is, and we pursue it because we believe it can makes us happy. [00:47.27]If we get it, we often become attached to it. And if we lose it, or it’s taken away, it can be traumatic. [00:57.14]The “Maze” in the story represents where you spend time looking for what you want. [01:02.72]It can be the organization you work in, the community you live in, or the relationships you have in your life. [01:09.99]... In the story you will see that the two mice do better when they are faced with change because they keep things simple, [01:17.58]while the two little people’s complex brains and human emotions complicate things. [01:23.61]It is not that mice are smarter. We all know people are more intelligent than mice. [01:30.76]However, as you watch what the four characters do, [01:34.95]and realize both the mice and the little people represent parts of ourselves [01:41.39]- the simple and the complex [01:43.66]- you can see it would be to our advantage to do the simple things that work when things change.
