The statement of commitment does mean something to you, does it not? It is not an empty statement! Is it? I didn't think so! Right, excellent! Now, stick with it, stay with it, stay consistent as you apply that commitment to this moment, here, right now. Do not drop it! No, no.. do not flip-flop now! Stick with that commitment, apply it again... as you are sitting here, reading this... with your eyes..., did you just blink? Good... commit to it... Blink again... Now, hold any mental reaction that you may come up with... even the littlest urge that would make your commitment to this moment flip-flop, resist the recoil, commit to this... there seems nothing to this... but this is it. Commitment is YOUR thing, you came up with it..., you reminded yourself... Commitment counts, all the time, in all circumstances... This is the life .... this is the world. The conviction that made you come up with your statement about commitment in the first place, that conviction, YOUR conviction, is what you need to keep alive, while committing to life, all this life in this world in the broadest sense... Anything that takes you away from this IS the problem... Any thought that may come up now, any thought that resists this very message to yourself... Don't forget... YOU said it, it is you who is convinced about commitment... apply it totally... no no no no... no thinking here... stick with this! Do not trip yourself out of it now... Commit to this, your life, what you are and what you do, while being you. Eating, going to the bathroom, typing, going for a walk, buying groceries, cycling, going by your grandkids' school.... The smell of the air, the clouds outside, the smell of the newspaper still on your fingertips. The sounds in your house, the texture of the clothes you wear at this moment, what your skin feels. The immediate bodily feelings... The world around you... do a quick gaze... resist the recoil... stick with this commitment to all this... this is it... There is nothing more to it... this is all there is... this is the miracle... This This is about: Who is reading this... Who is stopping the recoil... Who is holding himself not to react. Who is at the moment not resisting... Who Tony is... You Tony there is nothing more to you that your experience of being... Love you...
