A morning reflection for our readers 📚✨

“What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”

Sometimes fear makes us stay in places we’ve already outgrown, hold back ideas we want to explore, or delay steps we know we need to take.

Carry this question with you today:

💭 What would change if fear was no longer making the decision for you?

Have a thoughtful day!

📖 A small pause in your reading...

As you continue reading
Who Moved My Cheese?
don't just ask, "What happened?"

Ask yourself:

«What is this book trying to change in the way I think?»

Sometimes, the most important chapter isn't the one on the page—it's the one that begins within us.

Happy reading! 🤍

"Finding Cheese Feels Good!" 🧀

This is one of those simple messages written on the walls of the maze that carries a much deeper meaning than it first appears.

Finding cheese really does feel good, doesn't it? It brings comfort. It gives us a sense of security. It makes us believe we've finally found a place where we can rest.

No more waking up early. No more rushing through the maze. No more searching day after day...

After all, there's plenty of cheese waiting at Cheese Station C.

Who put the cheese there? We don't know. What matters is that it's there.

And as long as the cheese is there, everything feels right. We convince ourselves it will always be there. That the comfort it brings will never end.

Now pause for a moment.

Think about the "cheese" in your own life.

What is it that made you stop searching? What became so familiar that you loosened your grip, lowered your guard, and assumed it would always remain?

Something that was never truly ours, yet over time began to feel as though it was.

Something we grew so comfortable with that we no longer questioned where it was leading us.

Don't be mistaken.

We all have a piece of "cheese" in our lives.

And yet...

Finding cheese really does feel good.

«አይብህ ላንተ ይበልጥ ብርቅዬ ነገር በሆነ ቁጥር አንተም ይበልጥ አይብህን ላለማጣት ትሻለህ!»

በድንገት ያገኘነው የሚ'ገባን እንደሆነ በማመን አደገኛ ትዕቢት ውስጥ ሆነን፥ የለመድነውን ለማግኘትበርግጠኝነት ከቦታው ላይ ስንደርስ ••• የኛ ነው ያልነው ከቦታው የለም።

ባጣነው ጊዜ አለልክ በመብሰልሰልና ብዙ አላስፈላጊ ትንታኔዎችን በመስጠት... አይበቡን ዳግም የማይመልስ ማላዘን ውስጥ ገብተናል።

ሁላችንም አይባችንን እናስበው!
ለHem (አይ) ና Haw (አሃ) የአይቡ ትርጉም እንደተለያየው ሁሉ፤ እያንዳንዳችንገለአይቡ የምንሰጠው ትርጉምም ይለያያል።

ባለመዘጋጀታችን ምክንያት ድንጋጤንና ግራ መጋባትን የፈጠረብን፣ ለመቀበልና ለመወሰን የተቸገርንበት ያ አይብ...

አይቡን ማጣት ፍትሐዊ እንዳልሆነ አስበናል አይደል?!
ልክ እንደ Haw (አሃ) ሁሉ «ይህ ሊሆን አይ'ገባም!» ስንል ጮኸናል።

የአይባችን መጥፋት - ፈጽሞ መሆን ያልተገባው ነገር!

"The more important your cheese is to you, the more you'll want to hold on to it."

Sometimes we stumble upon something so valuable that we begin to believe we were always meant to have it. Quietly, that belief grows into a dangerous sense of certainty.

One day, we return to the place where we always found our cheese...

And it's gone.

Instead of moving forward, we often remain trapped in endless questions, overthinking every possibility, and mourning a loss that our grief alone can never restore.

Take a moment to think about your own "cheese."

Just as Hem and Haw gave different meanings to cheese, each of us defines it differently. It may be a career, a relationship, a dream, a routine, or even an identity we've grown attached to.

When it disappeared, were you caught off guard?

Did it leave you confused, unable to accept what had happened or decide what to do next?

Didn't it feel unfair?

Like Haw, perhaps you've found yourself saying,

«"This isn't supposed to happen!"»

We convince ourselves that losing our cheese should never have happened.

But no matter how unfair it feels...

The cheese is no longer there.

And accepting that truth is the first step toward finding new cheese.

«ካልተለወጥክ ትጠፋለህ!»

ተንቀሳቅሰን አይቡን ከመፈለግና አዲስን አይብ ስለማግኘት ከማሰብ ይልቅ፥ አይብ የማጣቱን ሁኔታ ከመጠን በላይ በማስተንተን የተጠመድን የለንም?!

ራሳችንን እንደ ተፈጥሯዊ የአይቡ ባለመብቶች በማሰብ፥ ከወሰዱብን አካላት ማካካሻ የምንሻ... ተወቃሽና ተጠያቂ ፍለጋ የምንኳትን... በድንገት ለተለወጠብን ነገር ኃላፊነቱን መውሰድ ያቃተን እኛ!

ምናባችን ሁሉ ያጣነው እንጂ የምናገኘው ያልሆነልን... ነገን በጨለሙ ዓይኖች ተመልክተን ወደ ክስረት የምንገሰግስ... እድሜዬ አይፈቅድም፣ መሳቂያ መሆን አልፈልግም እያልን ራሳችንን ቀስ በቀስ በልተን የምንጨርስ እኛ!

ተመቸን ብለን የሥራ መሳሪያዎቻችንን አርቀን ከወረወርን ወዲያ፥ ዳግም ወደ ውስብስቦቹ ጣቢያዎች አይብ ለማግኘት መንቀሳቀስ ከባድ ነው። ነገር ግን ለቻለ ይቻላል።... እንዳነበብነው Hem (አይ) አይቻልም ብሎ መቀመጥን ሲመርጥ Haw (አሃ) ግን እንደሚቻል አስቦ ተንቀሳቅሷል።

የመጽሐፉን ፍሰት ተከትለን ስንሄድ 5ቱን «መ»ዎች እናገኛለን።

• መንቀሳቀስ
• መጠንከር
• መሳቅ (በራስ ስህተቶች ላይ)
• መቀበል
• መቀጠል።

አስታውሱ! Haw (አሃ) መንቀሳቀስ በጀመረ ጊዜ፥ ይበልጥ ጥንካሬ ተሰምቶት ነበር። ተከታዩንም አውጇል፦

«አሁን የውስብስቡ ጊዜ ነው!»

ጊዜውን ለውስብስቡ ካልሰጠነው፥ ቀጥተኛው የምቾት መንገድ እንዳንታወስ አድርጎ ይቀብረናል።

የሆነው ሆኖ ግን ••• ካልተለወጥክ ትጠፋለህ!!!

"If You Don't Change, You Will Perish!"

Instead of moving and looking for new cheese, and thinking about finding new cheese, aren't we consumed with overanalyzing the fact that we lost our cheese?

Thinking of ourselves as the natural owners of the cheese, seeking compensation from those who took it away from us, searching for someone to blame and hold accountable, and being unable to take responsibility for the sudden change that happened to us—that is us!

Our minds are filled with what we have lost instead of what we could gain. Looking at tomorrow through darkened eyes, we rush toward failure. Saying, "My age doesn't allow it," or "I don't want to become a laughingstock," we slowly consume ourselves until we are finished.

Once we become comfortable and put away our tools, it becomes difficult to return to the maze and search for more cheese. But for those who are willing, it is possible. As we read, while Hem chose to sit still believing it was impossible, Haw believed it was possible and started moving.

As we follow the flow of the book, we find these steps:

Moving

Becoming stronger

Laughing (at your own mistakes)

Accepting

Continuing


Remember! When Haw started moving, he felt even stronger. He also declared:

"Now is the time for the maze!"

If we don't give ourselves to the maze, the straight and comfortable path will bury us so deeply that we will no longer remember it.

Whatever has happened has happened, but...

If you don't change, you will perish!!!

«ባትፈራ ኖሮ ምን ታደርግ ነበር?!»

እንደ Haw (አሃ) እንዴት አይብ በሌለበት ሁኔታ ውስጥ ራሳችንን እንዳስገባን እያሰብን መጓዝን መርጠናል።... በሂደቱ ውስጥ ፍርሃት አለ። አይብ ያለመኖሩ፤ ወይም አይቡ ያለመገኘቱ ፍርሃት!

በውስብስብ መንገድ ውስጥ እየተጓዙ አይቡን አለማግኘትን ማሰብ በርግጥም ያስፈራ ነበር።... ነገር ግን እንደ Haw (አሃ) ባሳለፍናቸው ጊዜያት ራሳችን ላይ ስቀን ማለፍን መርጠናል።

እርሱን ያስገረመው ጥያቄ እኛንም በራሳችን ላይ ደጋግመን እንድንገረም ያደርገናል፦

«ለምን ጊዜዬን አባከንኩ?! ለምንስ ወዲያው ከአይቡ ጋር አልተንቀሳቀስኩም?!»

ምንም እንኳ አይቡ በቦታው እንደሌለ ብናውቅም፥ ባለመንቀሳቀስ ውስጥ ከሚገኝ ምቾት መውጣት ከባድ ነው። ወደዚያ የሚጎትተውና ከዚያ ለመውጣት በመሞከር ሂደት ውስጥም የሚያስፈራው ነገር ብዙ ነው።

የሚያጠራጥሩን ነገሮች በሙሉበት ቦታም፥ ከፈሩ ወዲያም ቢሆን እንኳን 'ያልፈሩ ሰዎችን' ውሳኔ መከተል መልካም ነው።

የሆነው ሆኖ ግን ••• ባንፈራ ምን እናደርግ ነበር?!

"What would you do if you weren't afraid?"

Like Haw, we choose to keep moving, reflecting on how we ended up in a place where the cheese is no longer there.

The journey isn't without fear.

We fear that there may be no cheese ahead Or worse—that we'll never find it again.

Walking through the maze without knowing what lies ahead is frightening.

And yet, like Haw, there comes a moment when we learn to smile at ourselves—to laugh at the time we spent standing still.

His question becomes ours:

«"Why did I waste so much time? Why didn't I move when the cheese began to move?"»

Even when we know the cheese is gone, leaving the comfort of what is familiar is never easy.

There is comfort in staying where we are, even when it no longer serves us. Stepping into the unknown means facing uncertainty, doubt, and fear.

But perhaps the wisest thing we can do, when fear clouds our judgment, is to follow the example of those who had the courage to move before us.

And so, we're left with one question to carry with us:

What would you do if you weren't afraid?
