Commitment

At the 29th hour of my life I realize how much I do not care about Tom or Jerry. You know, the cat and the mouse cartoon which originated from the 40s but yet 77 years later the cartoon still remains on TV , along with new episodes about their rivalry. As a child I do remember watching the show, however I do not recall if Tom and Jerry was one of my favorites shows. And now today, I wonder why did the creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera name the show as Tom and Jerry, instead of Tom versus Jerry, because the word (and) is used to connect or bring together two or more people or things with a specific action or cause. Although, in some rare instance Tom and Jerry would occasional end up showing genuine friendship and concern for each other in special episodes, but something would always interrupt their truce. And what's really strange to me is that even when their truce and friendship was interrupted the writers thought it would be best to not add any dialogue between them. Which brings up today's topic about commitment.
Like Tom what are some of the things in your life that you've been chasing or like Jerry running to or from in your life? What are your commitments to yourself , others , and your own well-being. Have you considered your own behavior, and how others have responded or not responded to your actions, even after making healthy changes. With your new recent health changes are you with or without support, or dialogue. Have you been trying to repair past actions, habits,or errors and yet no one seems ready or able to see you in a new light? I ask you these questions so that you may contemplate your own inner development and direction because not everyone is going to promptly respond to your new changes. Like me, the best thing you can do is to remain centered and committed to trusting the work path that you're currently doing to improve the conditions of your life. (No matter the odds.)

If you don't have an outer dialog to support or add to your new healthy changes, then examine your life by creating an internal dialog to address what's worth your commitment and what really matters.
