Dare to move

Dare to move in a new direction and things will get better.

After visualizing his goal, Haw moved on to find new cheese. But Hem refused to budge. He stayed at the empty cheese station, angry and emaciated, and crucially, far too afraid to go out and search for cheese.

At the same time, Haw’s experience improved dramatically.

When you move in a new direction, you learn how to better embrace change. If you manage to conquer your fears just once, the next time you’re confronted with change, you’ll have the confidence to move on again. Never again will fear paralyze you as it did previously.

Haw found the courage to move on, even though he was all alone and still scared when he started his journey. But he slowly gained confidence. Although he came across just a few bits of cheese early on, he was still proud of himself for having come so far. Life just felt better now that he was no longer dominated by his fears.

Haw learned an important lesson, that fear you let accumulate in your mind before you move in a new direction is usually much more intense than a new situation actually deserves!

And once you start moving, it’s likely that things will improve. Sure, sometimes a new situation might end up being “cheeseless.” But don’t fret! There's always new cheese to be found.

Your new “cheese” could be a new friend, a new job, or even a new way to handle conflicts or do business. All you need to do is step outside your comfort zone and start the search.

Gradually Haw began to regain his full strength and confidence. Full of anticipation, he searched the maze until he found Cheese Station N and tons of cheese – the place where Sniff and Scurry had been all along.
