She had been glum for weeks. Feeling disappointed in herself and in others. She often expected much from herself. And, she had the same expectations of others. She felt let down by people not living up to the high standards she had put in place. But this morning she looked carefully out the window holding her scalding hot coffee. She was preparing for her speech.
Life could be good. Was good. Sure it had its bad moments. Many in fact. However, there was another sunrise and another sunset. There was beauty and awe. And, there was the fact that everyone has their bad moments. She could not expect herself from others. As she would note later in her keynote speech “Stop expecting you from other people”. And, you’ll be happier.

It helps to treat others as they wish to be treated, not as you would wish to be treated. 😎

“Stop expecting you
from other people”
Great Advice Dear Miriam
For ‘Superior Achievers’
Perhaps Someone Yes
Should ‘Tweet’ This to
Elon Musk too, hehe
Yet of Course in A Field
Like Health Care When You are
in Charge and ‘the Buck Stops With You’
i’m Sure it’s A Hard Philosophy to Maintain
As True it’s So Much
Easier When Free of
A Job That Requires Pay
And is Of Life and Death
Stature of Action and Consequence
And Other Wise Just Soar So High Like ‘Jonathan
Livingston Seagull’ BREEZinG Until You Are No Longer
in Sight And Others May Catch Up if They Ever Will…
Yet For me at Least i Don’t See it That
Way As Upon “Eagle’s Wings” Often
Anthropomorphized To Lift
(Nope, Eagles And Lions
Not always Very ‘Heroic’)
Other Humans Less
Fortunate Than
They in Wisdom to Gain
More Powerful Wings True i’d Rather
Fly Far Enough to Find Those Actually
Wanting to Be Lifted Up that Way
And in Doing So my Wings
Continue to Grow
Stronger
Regardless of
How High or Low
i Fly It’s All in The Bliss, Nirvana, Heaven, etc…
of Flying For me No Matter How Low or High
Just Fly
Just Fly
Just Fly
Yes i Just Fly
No Matter How Low or High
it is the FLight of Now That is All That Counts for me…
Anyway i Do Have Highest Standards for What i Continue to
Do as That Simply Lights my Christmas Tree Colors up Newer
Evolving
Being Human
So Yesterday When i Shared
The Lyrics of “The Impossible Dream”
By Andy Williams With You i ‘Interviewed’
Andy And Elvis And Frank Sinatra To Sing it For
The Rest of the Lyrics i Wrote in that Part of EPiC
Long Form Poetry Yesterday Usually Averaging around
3,333 Words A Day A Little Less Lately During The Holidays
And Such Hehe
Anyway The Vibes of those
Three Singers Were Not Nearly
Matching the Lyrics for the ‘Friction of the Day’
So i Went With Josh Groban And Feeling the ‘Frisson’
Of his Concert Accompanied Angelic Voice Just About
As Close
to Perfection
As A Practice
of Living Soul
Will Come to
Bring New
Heaven on Earth in
Either Dance or Song Now
Worth More Than All the Money, Fame,
Fortune, Status, or Other Worldly Consumer Success
i Could Ever Imagine Anywhere Yet Within mY FRiEnD…
True The Wings That
Soar Highest for
me Are are Visible
To No one Else Yet ‘The Force’ Within
Live Long And Prosper mY FRiEnD
And Of Course At Best
Be Only
Half
‘Vulcan’
Or Less And
The Rest FLiGHT With Wings…
Of course only in my limited and very small view
Best Advice Ever Above Below Too Treat Others As
THeY Wanna
Be Treated
MoreOver
Than Yes
Just How
We
Wanna
Be Treated
With SMiLes
IF They Are
Into That KINDa Thing hehe…
Let’s Face IT. It’s An Art. This Entire Existence…
And Never Gonna Be Limited As A Science Alone…
So Indeed In ThiS Way We Only Practice A ‘Medicine’ of Living..:)
