A friend sent me this on the side: "I had a thought after I read your Survey request post this morning. Please forgive me if this comes off as possibly offensive because, in reality, "What do I know?" "My initial reaction was that because things were not going well for you at the moment financially, you were looking to see if this was the case with a good handful of people so you could then use that information an a general excuse for your not doing well at this immediate moment. "There are many people, my clients for example, who are way busy with working and I have gotten really lucky at this immediate moment with large amount of work (of course, knowing it could end at any second). It's a big mix, sometimes some people are doing well, sometimes they are not, sometimes everyone is not doing well at the same time, sometimes everybody is doing well at the same time, sometimes some are-some aren't, and the dynamics are always changing. "Byron Katie, whose work I know you have extolled and claim to have benefitted from must have something to say about this, not so much directly but more in your using her methodology to help overcome the reliance on the general work-related malaise others might be experiencing as an excuse on your own behalf. "Was that understandable? "I will, of course, save this e-mail for personal relection at moments when there is little work on my desk!"
