    land far away there were four little
  • 00:00:39
    characters that lived in a maze two were
  • 00:00:42
    mice named sniff and scurry and two were
  • 00:00:45
    little people the size of mice
  • 00:00:47
    their names were hem and haw as
  • 00:00:51
    different as the mice and little people
  • 00:00:54
    were they shared one thing in common
  • 00:00:56
    each morning they put on their running
  • 00:00:58
    shoes and raced into the maze to look
  • 00:01:00
    for their favorite cheese cheese being
  • 00:01:01
    whatever was most important to them but

  • 00:01:09
    but for hem and haw cheese was more than
  • 00:01:12
    just having something to eat
  • 00:01:14
    finding it was a way of getting what
  • 00:01:16
    they thought they needed to them cheese
  • 00:01:18
    represented having security or good
  • 00:01:21

    cottage with a loving family on cheddar

    Lane to him cheese meant being a big
  • 00:01:35
    cheese owning a mansion atop camembert
  • 00:01:38
    Hill sniffing scurry had good instincts
  • 00:01:42
    snip would smell out the general
  • 00:01:44
    direction of the cheese and scurry would
  • 00:01:46
    race ahead but Hammond ha had complex
  • 00:01:51
    brains with beliefs and emotions that
  • 00:01:53
    made finding their way in the maze more
  • 00:01:55
    complicated and challenging rather than
  • 00:01:58
    trusting their instincts they relied on
  • 00:02:00
    guidebooks and maps to help find their
  • 00:02:02
    way in the maze in their own way all
  • 00:02:05
    four characters discovered what they
  • 00:02:07
    were looking for eventually each one
  • 00:02:10
    arrived at cheese station C and
  • 00:02:12
    discovered their own
  • 00:02:13
    special cheese sniffing scurry woke
  • 00:02:18
    early everyday and ran the same route
  • 00:02:20
    through the maze to cheese station C
  • 00:02:23
    however Emin ha woke later each day and
  • 00:02:27
    strolled slowly over to cheese station C
  • 00:02:29
    after all they knew where the cheese was
  • 00:02:32
    and how to get there and they assumed it
  • 00:02:35
    would always be there this is fabulous
  • 00:02:40
    I'm so happy there's enough cheese here
  • 00:02:43
    to last us forever
  • 00:02:44
    Oh heaven ha put away their running
  • 00:02:48
    shoes thinking they wouldn't need them
  • 00:02:49
    anymore they felt very secure in their
  • 00:02:52
    familiar surroundings ha even decorated
  • 00:02:55
    the walls with sayings having cheese
  • 00:02:57
    makes you happy
  • 00:03:00
    hemin ha became very comfortable in
  • 00:03:02
    cheese station C they were not paying
  • 00:03:04
    attention to what was happening around
  • 00:03:06
    them meanwhile sniffing scurry inspected
  • 00:03:10
    the area each morning they noticed the
  • 00:03:12
    changes that were taking place they kept
  • 00:03:17
    their running shoes around their neck so
  • 00:03:19
    they could get to them quickly whenever
  • 00:03:20
    they needed them again one morning
  • 00:03:23
    sniffing scurry arrived at cheese
  • 00:03:25
    station C and discover there was no
  • 00:03:27
    cheese they were not caught by surprise
  • 00:03:30
    since they noticed the supply of cheese
  • 00:03:33
    had been getting older and smaller the
  • 00:03:35
    mice did not overanalyze or complicate
  • 00:03:38
    things the situation had changed so
  • 00:03:41
    sniffing scurry changed they were soon
  • 00:03:43
    off in search of new cheese late that
  • 00:03:47
    day hem and haw arrived and are startled
  • 00:03:50
    at the sight of an empty cheese station
  • 00:03:52
    see what no cheese who moved my cheese
  • 00:03:59
    it's not fair
  • 00:04:01
    what will happen if the cheese isn't
  • 00:04:04
    here tomorrow
  • 00:04:05
    all my plans are based on the cheese
  • 00:04:08
    being here hems and Haws behavior was
  • 00:04:12
    not very attractive and kept them from
  • 00:04:14
    succeeding but it was understandable
  • 00:04:16
    finding cheese wasn't easy and it meant
  • 00:04:20
    a great deal more to them than just
  • 00:04:21
    having enough of it to eat every day
  • 00:04:24
    while sniff and scurry had changed hem
  • 00:04:27
    and haw continued to well hem and haw
  • 00:04:30
    hem were sniffing scurry do you think
  • 00:04:35
    they know something we don't
  • 00:04:36
    nah they're just simple mice we're
  • 00:04:39
    little people we're more complex and
  • 00:04:42
    smarter we're entitled flour cheese we
  • 00:04:45
    don't seem to be acting smarter at the
  • 00:04:47
    moment
  • 00:04:48
    sniffing scurry are probably in the maze
  • 00:04:50
    looking for new cheese maybe we should
  • 00:04:52
    simply get going and look for some new
  • 00:04:54
    cheese too
  • 00:04:55
    oh no I'm going to get to the bottom of
  • 00:04:58
    this I want things to be just the way
  • 00:05:00
    they were meanwhile snip and scurry move
  • 00:05:05
    further into the maze they didn't think
  • 00:05:08
    of anything else but finding new cheese
  • 00:05:11
    after looking in parts of the maze where
  • 00:05:14
    they had never been before
  • 00:05:15
    snip and scurry found the biggest store
  • 00:05:18
    of cheese they had ever seen meanwhile
  • 00:05:22
    hem and haw were still trying to figure
  • 00:05:24
    out what was happening then ha began to
  • 00:05:28
    imagine himself out in the maze finding
  • 00:05:31
    fresh new cheese before long he could
  • 00:05:34
    almost taste it come on him let's go
  • 00:05:37
    we've got a change and enjoy something
  • 00:05:41
    better no way it might be dangerous out
  • 00:05:44
    there in the maze I like it here I'm
  • 00:05:46
    comfortable you'll see someday things
  • 00:05:49
    will be just the way they were like him
  • 00:05:52
    ha focused on what he was losing his
  • 00:05:55
    vision of finding new cheese and gaining
  • 00:05:57
    something better faded
  • 00:06:07
    so everyday hemin ha went from their
  • 00:06:10
    homes to cheeseless station see and
  • 00:06:12
    returned home again with empty bellies
  • 00:06:14
    full of nothing but stress they tried to
  • 00:06:17
    deny the change that had happened but
  • 00:06:20
    found it more and more difficult their
  • 00:06:22
    homes were not the nurturing places they
  • 00:06:24
    once were you know if we just try hard
  • 00:06:29
    maybe we'll discover the cheese is still
  • 00:06:31
    here so hemin ha worked longer hours but
  • 00:06:36
    still they did not find their cheese ha
  • 00:06:39
    was beginning to realize how far they
  • 00:06:41
    were working without success then huh
  • 00:06:45

  • 00:07:15

    back that was yesterday's cheese it's
  • 00:07:24
    time for us to find some new cheese now

  • 00:07:29
    what if there's no cheese out there or
  • 00:07:32
    what if you can't find it or what I
  • 00:07:34

  • 00:07:39
    new cheese no no I don't want to go into
  • 00:07:42
    the maze well I don't either but let's
  • 00:07:44

  • 00:07:52
    um I chase who moved my cheese my cheese
  • 00:08:01
    then huh
  • 00:08:03
    wrote on the wall what he had been
  • 00:08:05
    thinking about for some time what would
  • 00:08:08
    you do if you weren't afraid it's amaze
  • 00:08:18
    time time for new cheese then I jogged
  • 00:08:24
    into the unknown he soon realized the
  • 00:08:31
    unexpected can happen oh that's gonna
  • 00:08:36
    leave a mark
  • 00:08:37
    ha picked himself up and got back on
  • 00:08:41
    course being back in the maze isn't
  • 00:08:48
    nearly as bad as I feared how did I get
  • 00:08:53
    into that situation a cheese station si
  • 00:08:56
    I should have followed my instincts and
  • 00:08:58
    changed a lot sooner if I'd been
  • 00:09:01
    watching what was happening hmm smell
  • 00:09:05
    the cheese often so you know when it's
  • 00:09:08
    getting old why do I feel so good I
  • 00:09:15
    don't have any cheese and I don't know
  • 00:09:18
    where it is when you stop being afraid
  • 00:09:22
    you feel good
  • 00:09:27
    I feel so village
  • 00:09:34
    not afraid anymore the more clearly hi
  • 00:09:39
    imagine himself finding new cheese and
  • 00:09:41
    enjoying it the more real it became in
  • 00:09:44
    his mind and his heart and the more it
  • 00:09:47
    made good sense to him imagining myself
  • 00:09:54
    enjoying my new cheese even before I
  • 00:09:57
    find it leads me to it finally ha
  • 00:10:04
    arrived at large cheese station II but
  • 00:10:07
    he found it was practically empty no
  • 00:10:10
    matter how hard I try oh I guess I'm
  • 00:10:15
    just too late
  • 00:10:16
    if only I had changed sooner I'd have
  • 00:10:20
    found a lot of new cheese here ha did
  • 00:10:24
    find several delicious morsels of cheese
  • 00:10:26
    it wasn't much but it was enough to keep
  • 00:10:29
    him going I've got to go back to him and
  • 00:10:32
    let him know there's some new cheese out
  • 00:10:35
    here ha followed his handwriting on the
  • 00:10:41
    wall back to cheese station see
  • 00:10:47
    oh yeah you look terrible
  • 00:10:55
    here have a few bits of new cheese I
  • 00:10:57
    found in the maze no I don't think I
  • 00:11:01
    would like new cheese I want my own
  • 00:11:04
    cheese back I want things to be the way
  • 00:11:07
    they were it's safer to search in the
  • 00:11:11
    maze hem and remain in a cheeseless
  • 00:11:14
    situation
  • 00:11:22
    hot now knew that his R and hams
  • 00:11:25
    negative thoughts robbed him of his
  • 00:11:28
    confidence ha remembered how good he
  • 00:11:31
    felt when he was away from such thinking
  • 00:11:33
    while searching for new cheese in the
  • 00:11:35
    maze
  • 00:11:36
    will he ever change I guess hem believes
  • 00:11:40
    he can't or won't enjoy new cheese ha
  • 00:11:44
    had changed his own beliefs
  • 00:11:45
    he knew the change wasn't always good or
  • 00:11:48
    necessary HOD used to believe that his
  • 00:11:51
    cheese should never be moved and that
  • 00:11:53
    sudden change wasn't right now he
  • 00:11:56
    realized that most change didn't happen
  • 00:11:58
    all of a sudden and that it could lead
  • 00:12:00
    to something better he now knew it was
  • 00:12:03
    good to go into the maze to find new
  • 00:12:05
    cheese when you change what you believe
  • 00:12:11
    you change what you do Paul found bits
  • 00:12:17
    of cheese here and there he hoped that
  • 00:12:20
    him might see the need for change and
  • 00:12:21
    find his way through the maze by reading
  • 00:12:24
    the handwriting on the wall and follow
  • 00:12:26
    the markings ha left for him he kept
  • 00:12:29
    hoping his good friend would change now
  • 00:12:32
    ha had let go of the past and was
  • 00:12:34
    adapting to the present he was pursuing
  • 00:12:37
    his sensible vision seeing himself
  • 00:12:39
    finding new cheese and then one day it
  • 00:12:44
    happened piled high everywhere was the
  • 00:12:47
    largest and most delicious-looking
  • 00:12:48
    supply of new cheese Hall had ever
  • 00:12:51

  • 00:12:57
    imagination hey it is real new cheese
  • 00:13:02
    was out here all the time just waiting
  • 00:13:05
    for somebody to find it as hi enjoyed
  • 00:13:08
    his new cheese he reflected on what he
  • 00:13:10
    had learned from his journey through the
  • 00:13:12
    maze he wrote on the wall of cheese
  • 00:13:14
    station n change happens they keep
  • 00:13:17
    moving the cheese anticipate change get
  • 00:13:21

  • 00:13:24
    change smell the cheese often so you
  • 00:13:27
    know when it's getting old
  • 00:13:30

    let go of old cheese the sooner you can
  • 00:13:35

    enjoy it again they keep moving the
  • 00:13:48
    cheese change and win move with the
  • 00:13:52
    cheese I wonder if hem will ever read
  • 00:13:56
    the handwriting on the wall
  • 00:13:58
    will he ever change and win han knew it
  • 00:14:03
    would be easy for him to slip back to
  • 00:14:05
    his old ways if he got too comfortable
  • 00:14:07
    so each day he inspected cheese station
  • 00:14:10
    n to check the condition of his cheese
  • 00:14:12
    he went out into the maze and explored
  • 00:14:15
    new areas he knew it was smarter to be
  • 00:14:18
    aware of what was going on around him
  • 00:14:19
    rather than to isolate himself in his
  • 00:14:22
    comfort zone then ha heard a sound of
  • 00:14:25
