Loud And Proud Now, We Are Still Here.

Sometimes life can be tough, with people unfairly picking on you, and either telling half-truths or even out-right lies, and all you want to do is to stop the world and get off. And if we can’t do that, we just want to go and find a dark place and hide forever. Ever felt like that?

We had a situation like that ourselves last year, and we all felt the same way, as we had been dealt some very low blows that were just not true, and yet they kept coming.

Yes we had been a dealt some low blows but not deadly ones. So rather than run and Hide which is what our opponents wanted, we went out and advertised ourselves, literally.

Not that we were expecting great results from it, but to use it as an opportunity to let everyone know we are still around despite their worst behaviour. And that we intended to stay around too! We just wanted to make it clear to all, (wether they were spreading these rumours or simply hearing them,) that they were not true and that we were still there. And not hiding away either but out loud and proud about our still being there,

Whilst their lies were hurtful, they were not true and therefore would not hurt us in the long run.

Oh yes, they were indeed painful, in fact very painful in the short term, but in the end, truth will out. And that is what happened, and rather than run and hide and shrivel away, we came out of this experience much, much stronger. You can too.

When the world is unfairly against you, don’t succumb to their false pressure, but rise above it.

Remember, pressure and time turns cheap black carbon into expensive and desirable hard diamonds.

So when pressure comes upon you, don’t crumble under it but let it turn you into something valuable and desirable. Walter
