Who Moved Your Cheese?

Who Moved Your Cheese?
And What Are You Going To Do About It?
Hey, I’m not talking about cheese,
I’m talking about Gas and Energy Prices!!!!

Everyone knows it and everyone feels it. The U.S. economy is struggling and the American people are struggling. It is a “Time of Change”. I know Barack Obama says it is a time for change and if we elect John McCain we can expect more of the same thing. Riiiggghht!! I’m sorry to be sarcastic here but I don’t care who gets elected we are in a time of change and no new president is going to do a thing about it. It is very simple, We went from the Stone Age, to the agricultural age, to the industrial age, and now we are in the information age. Change happens and either you change with the times or you get caught standing still. Better yet you adapt and use change to your advantage.

In the book, “Who Moved My Cheese?” by Dr. Spencer Johnson, there are mice that are use to getting their cheese at the same location everyday. They got lazy and just expected the cheese to be there. They were afraid to venture out and respond to a critical situation. Yet those that did venture out found more cheese in another section of the maze. Who do you think did better?

I’m not going to write a review of the book but I can direct you to Wikipedia and they have written a great review. Check it out here.

I hope you read that. Now let’s substitute the term gas or energy for cheese. Hmmmmm!

That’s exactly what is going on. We are use to getting our energy a certain way. Times are changing, regardless who becomes president. Most of us are sitting here complaining about it and doing nothing to help our situation. We want the government to do something, but that won’t happen very soon. The Government is one of the slowest institutions to react to change. Can you afford to wait for the government?

As we speak about the oil crisis, businesses, organization seek to develop new forms of energy. Some of it environmentally friendly too! The people that react first to this change in supply will be the first to reap the benefits. This is a time of opportunity, not a time to be negative. Yep, there are solution and we are talking big solutions. Here are some articles that you should take a look at:

Here’s a guy who powers his house totally on renewable energy sources. Now I know this is way beyond the budget of most Americans, but I’m just trying to make a point here. There are solutions to our energy problems.

Here take a look at these videos from youtube. Honda has developed a brand new car that runs on Hydrogen and produces it’s own electric, which could power a whole house by itself.

I found a site that has the information you and I can use to improve our energy consumption expenses. This site is among the best information I have found with a great guarantee. Very well done, great info. Take the time to look over the information and take charge of your own economic situation. The name of the guide is GASSAVER tm.

Click on this to look over the site and save gas now don’t wait for the government to do something!

Just imagine if everyone takes charge and does something to effect gas prices and the environment. Prices will come down and world can be a better place.

Bless you all!

WHY THIS BLOG?

As you can gather from the name of the blog, I will be talking about success principles such as leadership, teamwork, wealth, and relationships.

I use to think that the only measure of success was the money you had in your pocket. The more money you had the more successful you are. I didn't realize that there was more to the picture. Partly because today, society seems to hold that vision of success. It is reinforced in the school system and in the media. Television in particular has been a mind conditioning tool.

People are spending more time on entertainment that pursuing worthwhile ideals. We now have the most educated society within the history of mankind, but we are further from the truth than ever before. Our kids have less discipline, less respect, and less morals because they are not being taught. You might be thinking right now, "what does this have to do with success anyway?". Answer, "Everything!"

Your level of success will be directly determined by the knowledge and skills you develop. It is a learned behavior. You will need financial skills, time management skills, and people skills in order to be prepared for success. Not only do you need to learn them, but you need to put the principles into action. It is also important to have success as a balance of five areas in your life.

I break the areas up into these parts, Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness and Finance. For the sake of convenience you could group Family and Friends into one category, (Relationships).

I want to express here that I am not a know it all. I am not talking down to anyone here. I am talking with you all. I was lucky to finally meet people who showed me the way. I was reintroduced to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I was taught these principle that are timeless. These principles are part of the natural law. They are the same today as they were thousands of years ago. They have not changed, they are constant.

Example, the law of gravity is always constant, it does not change. We can fight it or we can use it to our advantage. Just like the principles of thought and abundance, in Earl Nightingale's "Strangest Secret". They are constant and they can work for you or against you. The key is to be aware of the principles and they will work for you.

Take for instance, the most simple concept of a smile. If you are aware that a smile creates new friends then you can use that smile to attract new friends to you. The person that is not aware of this may be asking themselves, "Why can't I make friends? Why is everybody so unhappy?" Maybe it is not that people are unhappy, maybe it is you not being aware of this simple principle. Why not smile more!!!!

I have much more to say as time goes on in this blog. My goal is to make a difference in people's lives. To help people who have autism in their family. To change the way people think in this country and recapture what we are loosing. To be a good steward of this planet. To show the fruits of the spirit and spread the knowledge of the Gospel to all who have ears to hear.

Well I hope you will enjoy this blog and that I can help you improve your life in a positive way.

Smile, God loves you!
