When Change Happens

One of the sure things in life is change.  Each day brings a new life and a different experience for us.  But our daily routine task, from the time we wake up until the time we lay down in bed again, creates a cycle that leads us to comfort.  Such comfort creates lax and negligence in our character that make us forget that life is constantly changing.  Then when change happens, we stress out, react, complain and be beaten up.

Even if it¡¯s hard to admit it, in school, at home and in the community we live in, we were taught to believe in following rules and sets of standards that being curious and creating change is not acceptable.  That being obedient, doing what is told and what is ¡°right¡±, is the key to success and happiness in life.  The attitude of obedience and resistance to change is brought by many in their professional and personal journey in life.  That¡¯s why it is hard for majority to handle and accept change.

Upon experiencing change, our initial reaction is to resist it.  Either because we are afraid to lose the comfort of what we currently have or the fear of the unknown.

Content: The Fable of Change 

The book, Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson, is a fable that teaches an amazing way to deal with change in your personal and professional life.

Below is a short synopsis of the fable:

There were four characters; two mice named ¡°Sniff¡± and ¡°Scurry,¡± and two little people named ¡°Hem¡± and ¡°Haw.¡±  The four characters lives in a maze (which represents environment) and their activity is to look for cheese ( which represents their life¡¯s happiness and success).

Each morning, Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw wear their most comfortable shoes to run and search the maze to find cheese.  They search each day until they found Cheese Station ¡°C¡±.  The four were so happy and glad to have found Station ¡°C¡± which is filled with cheese.  Hem and Haw, human as they were, become comfortable having found Station C.  They thought that the Cheese in Station ¡°C¡± was more than enough to sustain their needs in a lifetime.  So the next morning, Hem and Haw lazily gets up every morning and walk to station ¡°C¡± without their running shoes on.  On the other hand, the two mice ¡°Sniff¡± and ¡°Scurry¡± still eagerly runs to Station ¡°C¡± to search and find their cheese.

Then one morning, as Hem and Haw lazily walks shoeless to station ¡°C¡±, they¡¯ve arrived and found it empty.  Hem and Haw became furious and angry.  Unprepared, the humans have counted on the cheese supply to be constant.  They rant at the unfairness of the situation and were mad to those who stole their cheese.  They wanted justice.  They wanted the cheese to come back but they went home hungry.  On the other hand, when Sniff and Scurry found that Station C was empty, they are not surprised. They noticed the cheese supply were decreasing, they have mentally prepared beforehand for the tough but foreseeable task of finding new cheese.  They¡¯ve easily accepted it and moved on to search for new cheese.

The next day, Hem and Haw still walks to Station C hoping to find their cheese.  Hoping that things were the same as the past.  But they failed for the cheese was gone and will not come back.  Beginning to realize the cheese less situation, Haw proposed to search for new cheese. But Hem is dead set in his closed mindset and rejected the proposal.  Meanwhile, Sniff and Scurry have found ¡°Cheese Station N¡±, a new supply of cheese. 

Hem and Haw are still lacking of cheese and blame each. Wanting to change, Haw suggested once again to search for new cheese but Hem rejected it again.  He didn¡¯t want to change, he¡¯s already comfortable his old cheese and he¡¯s also afraid of the unknown, the new cheese.  He just wants the old cheese to come back and he¡¯ll be happy again.  After many days in denial, Hem and Haw remained without cheese. 

One day, having discovered his weakening fears, Haw begins to laugh at the situation and stopped taking himself so seriously.  Haw realized that he should simply move on and enter the maze to find a new cheese.  While walking down the maze in search for new cheese, Haw took time to write on the walls of the experiences and lessons he¡¯s getting in search for change, of new cheese.  Haw did it for the intention of giving a guide to his friend, Hem, just in case he finally accepts to move on and find new cheese.  First he wrote, ¡°If You Do Not Change, You Can Become Extinct¡± Still fearful of his new quest, Haw wrote ¡°What Would You Do If You Weren¡¯t Afraid?¡± .  In his journey he realized and wrote down ¡°When you move beyond your fear, you feel free.¡±  Then one day, Haw finally found Cheese Station N and realized it was better and tastier than Cheese Station C.  Wanting to remember everything he¡¯ve learned, he wrote to the largest wall in Cheese Station N the following Six (6) Important Lessons on Change:
1.Change Happens.  They Keep Moving The Cheese
2.Anticipate Change. Get Ready For The Cheese To Move
3.Monitor Change. Smell the Cheese Often So You Know When It Is Getting Old.
4.Adapt To Change Quickly. The Quicker You Let Go Of Old Cheese, The Sooner You Can Enjoy New Cheese.
5.Change.Move With The Cheese
6.Enjoy Change.Savor The Adventure And Enjoy The Taste Of New Cheese

Are You Like Hem?

Even we don¡¯t admit it, we act like Hem.  When change happens in our lives, we get angry, we blame others, we lose hope and resist change.
