Intentions for a change...

[duhan]

A woman came to a Buddhist teacher seeking advice about a certain problem. The teacher made a wise recommendation, but the woman objected that she couldn't follow it because of another problem she had. The teacher offered a second solution, which the woman also rejected, saying it would be impossible to carry out because of yet another difficulty. Once more the teacher described a course of action she could take to minimize the original dilemma, and the woman named yet another problem that would prevent her from implementing it. Finally the teacher ended the conversation, saying, "When your intention to change is greater than your intention to stay the same, then you will change."

I just joined this site recently and am really enjoying and learning a lot.

Changes in life are difficult only if you look at the changes in a negative way.

In one of my courses for my Master’s degree we read an amazing little book on change. The book presents a simple story that lets you discover how you can deal with change and win. In the book the characters are searching for cheese in a maze. The book seems to say that no matter what changes (in your life), you should see it as a good thing. I really enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to you all. The book is very easy to read.

The name of the book is Who Moved My Cheese? By Dr. Spencer Johnson, M.D.

Note that cheese is a metaphor for what we want in life (relation, money, big house, job, etc..)

incidentally, i too have read this book you mention. I am surprised you had to read it for one of your classes given it came into print 2 years back- or not? Lucky you!

There is only one permanent thing happening in the universe and that is "CHANGE". Good one Urmilaji.
