Your name of Brainard gives you a friendly, congenial personality and causes you to desire activities involving people. You require new ideas or concepts to be presented in complete detail before you can understand them properly and accept them. This name brings the tendency to magnify small issues out of proportion or to become too involved in personality conflicts. At times you exhibit an uncompromising attitude and indifference toward others through failing to listen to and reason out another person's point of view. Not liking to stand alone, you seek the assurance from others to give you the confidence to do your best. It is hard for you to face an issue directly and say "yes" or "no" and mean it, though you have a quickness of mind that enables you to respond with artful diplomacy to evade unpleasant situations. Although you may dream of better things, you find it hard to maintain the drive to go after them. In your employment, you would want a job that is secure and dependable, preferably in some technical capacity where you have limited decision-making responsibility. Growths could also be a possibility in the digestive tract or prostate gland. Sluggish circulation of your bloodstream through lack of physical activity could limit your energy, and could cause swelling of the legs and feet, and even result in varicose veins.
