After a hectic day at work, it's easy to find excuses to stay home. Hungry, tired, cold, raining or windy. I felt all of these as I dragged my shopping bag from the parking lot to the door. Relaxation would be waiting on the jogging path. It requires determination, perhaps that famous attitude, pushing yourself beyond your emotions to get going. No matter what, I forced myself to put on my slippers and put my slippers in front of someone else. Oh, the energy that comes from my mind after a jog and the feeling of having overcome myself when I overcame the excuses. The alternative would have been to stay home – to become a house mouse. Why does the word house mouse have a negative connotation? I enjoy myself in the kitchen, experimenting and coming up with new recipes. Knitting wool socks while peeking from the rocking chair at the Lion's Cave spinning in the background with its strange business ideas or the MasterChef contestants in challenges. Even though the itch stays between my thumb and forefinger, it’s extremely difficult to get a book to stay in my lap for more than seven pages. One Friday morning, our CEO Jukka suggested that everyone read Who Moved My Cheese . Guess how excited I was? Not at all. I don’t like reading – at least not reading books. Articles are a different matter. When I heard that the book could be read in less than an hour, my hope was awakened. I read 94 pages without experiencing the pain of the seventh page and without even looking at the page numbers. The book tells a fairy tale-like story about ways to deal with change through 4 characters, 2 mice and 2 little people. People's sense of security and fears prevent them from acting in new situations. Mice sense and act in change. The simple actions of mice are desirable, but people are slowed down by fears and complex thinking. Taloussanamat once criticized the book as simple. Failed, but still successful. Not a strange book. Did they intend it for their target audience? It might work for basic Americans. I think the book also works for this type of illiterate person. I recognize myself in all 4 characters. Some character is the most dominant in different situations that I encounter at work or in my free time. Simplicity brings to mind the KISS model of thought, which strives for simplicity. Keep it simple, Stupid! To prevent this from sounding too easy, Albert Einstein was already involved in the model with his idea: Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. (Everythingshould be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.) Now I’m going to stop this increasingly complicated train of thought.   Feeling inspired by all of this, I’m heading out for a run after work, smiling. my face, Now I will end this reflection that is becoming complicated. Inspired by all this, after a day at work I head out for a run with a smile on Julia Cameron: The Road to Creativity - a Spiritual Path to Deeper Creativity with a new attitude.   looking for new paths, without unnecessarily treading on the same path. After another day at work, I pick up the 334-page book
