Eliminate the Lurking fear of you being at the Brink of Extinction.

The story tries to highlights varied personality traits human beings possess. The analogy of cheese with the intended desires of humans be it material possessions, quest for healthy life style, elevate spiritual awareness etc the maze is the source which will facilitate you to find your cheese, that is means to accomplish your pre established goals. Every human is chasing their cheese , however the entity cheese holds different meaning for different people. Whether we are successful in grabbing the cheese and savour its taste entirely depends on the courage to peer anxiously through the maze. Here the analogy of maze being a labyrinth of corridors and chambers and sometimes leading to alley or black hole and being in a consistent  fear to lose one’s way out is similar to myriads of obstacles which we face when we are on our journey to accomplish our goals. The four characters sniff, scurry , hem and ham are the dominant ways of thinking humans resort to when they are exposed to an uncertain and unpredictable situation. Sniff and scurry were observant to notice that the amount of cheese is getting depleted at cheese station C. However Hem and Haw became so contented that they believed they will not have to ever expend efforts to toiling hard through the maze and they claimed this cheese will suffice and will nourish them for the entire life. However the situation changed for no good , one good morning the cheese disappeared from Cheese Station C . Scurry and Sniff were aware of this inevitable situation and acted instinctively.
They get back to their running gears as quickly as they can and ventured into the adventure and in search of another Cheese station. After strenuous efforts they found cheese station H which contained the cheese not only abundance of cheese which they never found prior but also the variety of cheese available startled them . Their excitement need to description. On the contrary Haw and Hem cursed , hollered and kept thinking how destiny is not fair to them. They thought they are entitled to the cheese as they once toiled hard to search this treasure. They waited for a miracle to happen and daily visited Cheese station C with an expectation that someone might have placed the cheese back. However ever day they returned with disappointment. The anguish, frustration and restlessness was evident . They both turned emaciated due to lack of nutrition for several days. However they were not willing to change their attitude and feared venturing and exploring the maze again in search of new cheese station. They were not wanting to leave their comfort zone. Haw laughed at their folly and decided to explore the maze again. First the fear of being caught in the alleys and black holes kept him immobilized , however he still mustered the courage and went ahead with the expedition. He already became week as he was starving for so many days and realized  this new search will be more painful than usual. But after he actually acted upon his fear he experienced it wasn’t that difficult either.

Haw reflected on his way to find a new cheese station. He realized how his fears had clouded him and inhibited him to begin an action of finding out a new cheese. He realized how over analysis and over complicated thoughts and beliefs hold his fears. He suddenly realized the cheese did not disappear immediately as he perceived it prior. However the depletion in the amount was a continual process which he and Hem did not took a notice of. He gathered observing small changes will help one anticipate big changes and adapt to it quickly .If one does not adopt within a time frame then they cant adapt at all. Haw gained energy by realizing that he has shrugged off the burden of fear from his shoulders and is now more flexible to change. He realized rather than me complaining who moved my cheese?? I could have moved with cheese . The invigorating power which haw  received is through his critical reflection on his prior beliefs. Changes will occur naturally and we need to adapt to the changes quickly. Questioning and lamenting on the changes that  has already occurred  is only making you paralyzed . Rather than questioning why the change occurred , it is indeed great to come up with the strategies and tools which will help us deal with the change effectively and help us update and broaden the vision. Also haw imagined what he realistically aim for. He always imagined him sitting amidst the heaps of his favorite cheese and savoring the taste of it. He encountered several set backs and was prompted to think will he ever be able to find a new cheese?? When soever he encountered this dilemma he just asked one question What would I do If I am not afraid?? This question propelled him further and alas he found a new cheese station N which contained the variety of  cheese in abundant amount  which was never found prior. He was startled to find this new location . He then became alert and decided to investigate the change in this new location and also simultaneously explored other corridors. He decided not to confine himself within this comfort zone and not let arrogance of success dominate him  and allow him  to take a sigh of relief  you never know some  danger and a dire need to change is lurking in the background trying to convey an implied message to take an immediate action.
