Brent David Johnson

This is a name that is becoming notable in my life.

On the floor of the house that Brent David just happenned to be staying at because he just happenned to not be able to move into his apartment at the 'right' time and where i just happenned to be visiting was a book that just happenned to be sitting in front of me and for no apparant reason picked up, flipped open to a random page and just happenned to start reading.

This is what i read on the page i turned to:

Practice daily to strengthen your inner light.

See conflict without resenting it or wanting to change it.

Look at the conflict in front of you straight in the eye. Don't be a doomat! Stand firm without being reactive.

Know that it doesn't matter if people love you in that moment, you love them. It doesn't matter if people understand you, you understand them. And if they do not forgive you, you forgive them.

Be patient under trial. As long as you are not judgmental or resentful, you will be able to disagree without being disagreeable.

If you have something to say, say it. Don't be upset or react, just say it.

If you have something to do, do it. Don't be upset or react, just do it with presence.

Don't be overly excited by praise or offended by criticism. And don't be too quick to give praise or criticism.

Always follow your intuition.

Practice doubting your doubts when they arise.

Do not fall into the trap of competition and comparison.

Stay in your body in moments of adversity.

Let go and have faith in the power of the universe. It is always there for you, all you ever need to do is let go and let it in.

Thank you, Brent David, not only for putting me in the path of these words, but for becoming a name that, when spoken, opens my heart just a little bit more.

Namaste.
