Moving the CHEESE..

Who moved my cheese is a story talking about change, the effects of staying in your own comfort zone and not stepping out of the box. Four different characters traveling in the same direction with the same goal in mind...CHEESE! Their different personalities and outlook on their view of things is what makes and/or breaks them in this story. Hem, Haw, Sniff, & Scurry are the four characters in the story. Sniff and Scurry finds and goes after the cheese; they move wherever the change moves. Hem is stubborn and doesn't want to leave his comfort zone, he thought that the disappearing cheese would return. Hem woke up each day to return and find no cheese, it was INSANITY. Haw at one point was thinking like Hem, he didn't want to move forward because of he was afraid. Eventually Haw came to his senses and was able to laugh at himself, his actions, and his fear. Once he did that he began to move forward. Haw still didnt find another fully loaded cheese station but he did find enough to get by until he reached it. Once Haw finally reached that loaded cheese station he found Sniff and Scurry there awaiting his arrival to enjoy the cheese with them. There have been times where i was in a Hem mindset but i snap back into reality and get back into my Sniff and Scurry mode. I'm very determined and when it comes to my success and happiness i get what i need by any means necessary. ACSS has many different Sniff's, Scurry's, Hem's, & Haw's. ACSS is the Sniff in our life, we just have to be willing to be the Scurry to go after what we want.

For those of you who have never heard of this story i strongly suggest you take a peek into that book. It really gave me a whole new outlook on change. The author is Spencer Johnson M.D. the title of the book is "WHO MOVED MY CHEESE" I guarantee that this book will change your whole train of thought. If you don't get anything out of it then know that  the reason is because it's the HEM in you.


My journey through ACSS has been a great one, i've learned so much and it's making me a better me within. I'm blessed to have been able to go through this journey with all of the instructors and other people affiliated with the program. Thank you ACSS and thank you MR. FORD for giving me this book to read and helping aid in my new transformation.
