Wrong direction?

I keep trying to move forward on the logistics of life. I thought I'd perhaps landed a consulting gig, but I'm not sure this one will work out. I think the entrepreneur who was interested started to see some signs that there might not be a fit. While I think I can help them, I also expressed some of own reservations to my wife on Wednesday night.

Looking inward, I'm probably just being a bit too transparent about the kind of stuff I don't want to be doing.

And, looking inward, I probably have to treat these situations like china in need of some cleaning. It may need some very thorough cleaning, but I need to be gentle with it. Trying to throw it in the dishwasher is something that will clean it but isn't very good with the china. So, the most important thing is love of the china, not love of cleaning.

This is perhaps the spiritual twist I need to take...
