The speaker recounts meeting two men named Brian on opposite coasts: Brian Johnson, author of The Philosopher's Notes, at an Ojai farmers market, and another Brian at a Florida arts festival. He frames these coincidences as Wayne Dyer's idea of geometric convergence and suggests treating every encounter as an intentional, divinely-guided meeting.
Hello everyone. Here is your moment of yes for today. So a few months ago when my family and I were taking a road trip, we were in California in Ojai, and some of you may remember me telling the story about being at the farmers market in Ojai, and I ran into and met Brian Johnson, who is the author of The Philosopher's Notes and entheos.com. If you haven't checked out either, please do so. They're amazing. They're awesome. You'll love them. And I thought it was so great how I ran into someone who I really respect and look up to and appreciate his writings and his ideas and to run into him in a completely new and foreign environment to me. So fast forward to this weekend, I was at an arts festival here in Florida with my family and this gentleman called my name and came up to me And said that he watches A Moment of Yes. A friend had sent him to the site and he recognized me at the arts festival and wanted to introduce himself. Awesome. His name was also Brian, different Brian, but 2 Brians. And so I just loved sort of the synchronicity of being on the other part of the country and running into someone and then being sort of in my own hometown and someone coming and noticing me. And the fact that they're both Brian just kind of makes it feel coincidental, although if you think about what Wayne Dyer says about coincidence, it's a geometric term, 2 coinciding ideas coming together perfectly. Now, I've been blessed by Brian Johnson, and I know it's a blessing meeting this Brian as well. And I have included sort of his link to his work and his ideas at the bottom of this page. You can check that out. So, So I thought to myself today for a moment of yes, what if we approached every relationship, every interaction in our life as if it was an inspired meeting by the universe? Think of everybody that you work with. Think of everybody that you meet, run into on the street, at a dinner party, the receptionist at the restaurant. What if everyone— or hostess— what if everyone that you ran into, it was a blessing? An intentional meeting from the universe, from love, from divine being, from God, and if we treated every interaction that way, how might we approach all the relationships in our life? Think about that today. That is your moment of yes. Have a wonderful day, and I can't wait to find out who I meet today. Take care, everyone. Bye.
