Just finished reading a fabulous book… for the second time. It’s a very popular book called “Who Moved My Cheese“.
It’s really a great book. It’s very easy read (under 100 pages) but it gets you thinking a lot about changes in life and how to deal with them positively. It actually suggests that we create changes in our lives on regular basis and not be afraid of them! How scary is that for most of us!
I know for myself that I used to be (and my business partner/brother might say I still am) a very structured person. I used to want to plan out everything in my life and pretend that I actually had it under control
When changes would occur, I would be floored and take awhile to get back up on my feet. Of course, there are things we CAN’T prepare for and are serious changes that hurt us all… however, I’m starting to come around and actually enjoy change… bit by bit… I’m not so worried about planning everything out and have begun to go with the flow a lot more! So far so good… it seems to be working in my personal life and even in my business life.
Going with the flow however is not an excuse to blame everything on everyone else and thinking we don’t have control. I think there needs to be a nice balance there. We are partially responsible for some changes that occur and it’s hard to believe we don’t see them coming sometimes. Anyhow, if you haven’t read the book, I strongly suggest picking it up… It’s presented in a neat way and really grabs your attention!
So, while your looking/waiting for changes in your life, check it out! Here’s a link to find out more about the book… enjoy!

OK… you just totally described me as well.
Hhhmm… It’s weird how things happen. I was going through some papers from my previous job only a day or two ago and came across something on a workshop that I’d gone to a few years ago. The workshop material was based on ‘Who Moved My Cheese’.
So.. I’m on Facebook and none other than Mr. Mike Wiggins (a friend from high school) shows up. I look at his friend list and notice this link to evolvingsolutions.ca. The first thing I come to is this post.
I think the universe is telling me to READ THIS BOOK! lol!

Hope you get to read the book!
