Who Moved My Cheese?

The Cheese Has Moved

I read a book a while back called “Who Moved My Cheese” by Dr. Spencer Johnson.  The book was about two mice, Hem and Haw.  They lived in a maze.  Like clockwork when they got hungry they made their familiar way through the puzzle to where their food (cheese) was.  The cheese was in the same place every day.

One Day the cheese moved.  Hem and Haw were dumbfounded and hungry.  They frantically went through their maze trying to find the cheese, but it was no where to be found.

I tell you this story because this is what has happened to many Americans today.  People got comfortable, way too comfortable.  The cheese in our society is technology.  While technology has changed, people have not adjusted to that change and has there for displaced many.

You see if you keep doing what you have always done, you will have what you have always had.  That is the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Most have prepared themselves for the world that was instead of getting ready for the world that is to be.  I am sure you can relate to that.  There has been a sheet pulled over peoples eyes for years.  So you have been working your butt off at work for years and hoping that each year you would get a 3-5% increase in pay.  It’s called a cost of living increase.  The fact is that inflation and taxes have been much higher than that increase, therefor you get a decrease in pay every year and you dont even know it.  Well you should have figured that out when at the end of the year you have a pile of credit card debt that never goes away.

I had always been told never to put all of my eggs in one basket and to always have a second stream of income. That was the best advice I had ever gotten.  For most Americans though, they just worked their jobs, some feeling that they would never lose it.  Well, Shazam. Unemployment is at about 10% and in some states like California, its like 12%.

We live in a country where we are free to enterprise.  Free to make as much or as little as we want.  Folks have decided not to take risks and to live a simple comfortable life.  Anytime you get comfortable, your in for trouble. Growth never happens in your comfort zone.  You have to get uncomfortable to make your dreams come true.

The Solution. Always keep the cheese in sight and always have a back up plan in motion.
