— G. A. Brown

“I look at myself in the mirror, and I think to myself, I am you. Oh my God, you are GORGEOUS.”

— G. A. D. Brown

— G. A. D. Brown

“Sometimes I am so awesome I don’t recognise myself.”

— G. A. D Brown

“To have belief in anything in life and to carry it through takes will and grit. But to believe in yourself… that's like having your own fuel, and having your own spark and ignition.”

— G. A D. Brown

— G. A. D. Brown

“If you do not move towards your success, it’ll remain static without form and be a distant dream at the end of your horizons, but with every step you take, moving closer and closer it will take ten times more to make you welcome.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“They will boast of victories won and parade the sweetness of success. But truth walks in silence, a force they dare not name, the quiet power that made their noise possible, the invisible hand that holds success: a name without a name.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“What is it that having faith and belief cannot secure? What is it that can't be attained through self-belief? Aren't mountains climbed, and impossible things made real? Then… believe, in the light at your core”

— G. A. D. Brown

— G. A. D. Brown

“Desire means nothing without direction. And a life worth living is not made by wishing…but by walking through the fires of becoming.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“You may be the boss, and it may be your business, but the client is the boss of where their custom goes.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“You do not start a business to get rich; you start one to provide a service. You cannot create a clientele; they have always been there. What you do is show that you have recognised their needs and that you are there to serve them. Then they will seek you out and reward you with their money.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“I’ve heard people say you can’t earn money online anymore since those opportunities have passed. The same was said in the days of the Industrial Revolution, and many people also had their eyes closed.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“Success is not about you competing against the world or anyone else. It’s about you contributing to the world and making a statement of significance.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“I know, I am more than I think I am, and better than I care to believe. I am stronger when I keep faith, and deeper, greater, and steadier, when I muster up the courage to be me.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“Greatest of all you can be in life is yourself; live authentically, embrace who you are, honour your spiritual self, and you will live free and happy in your own skin.”

“You already know the best and worst of yourself, for you are your best friend and worst of your enemies, and in between, you're this great mediator. If you could see your list of triumphs, you'd see so much to admire in yourself.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“Why would I want to be another person? I am enough for this world, and if there are people who don’t like it, they can leave.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“There are many people who are broken. People who think everyone else must be broken, so they can feel that they’ve been fixed.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“Not all of us can be five stone, size eight, look the same, and fit into one mould. God made the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, and every creature that walks on the land. He did not limit them to one shape or size, or insist that we all conform to one pattern.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“You are not broken. You are whole; you were created whole. The world is broken, and people in the world fell with the world and have then become broken. YOU... you’re perfect; you’re fine as you are, keep strong, and don’t break.”

— G. A. D. Brown

“My, my; how could I not love thee? You are my head, my hands, my feet, my eyes, my ears, my lips, oh my, my lips… my body, my skin, and without you, I couldn’t exist in this very world.”

— G. A. D. Brown
