THE “SNAKELIKE” PHILOSOPHY.

Excerpt # 9.

when-the-dust-settles-2008.jpgNot having anything much before and now possessing a dream of significance instantly makes one controversial. Most people suddenly can’t stand the success of others, so they adopt that “snakelike” mindset and philosophy – to squeeze the life out of you because suddenly your vision scares the heck out of them.

Many did not like Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. in his day. His life was squeezed out of him at the age of 38. Now a street in every major city seems to now bear his name. After his death he has suddenly been transformed into a hero, an honor withheld during his lifetime. Why? Mainly because they don’t want your dream to someday turn into reality.

THE NARRATIVE

Excerpt #7.

when-the-dust-settles-2008.jpgWhat causes us to rise to the occasion no matter what odds come against us? Is it something that we were born with - inherited from our genes? How did we get it? Is it something we acquired from a coach or some other leader who, as if by design, stepped into our life? Is it the refining process which, brings out the best in us during our struggle to swim upstream? Is it inspiration? Is it belief?

As you assimilate my True Hollywood Story, rest assured you will not only get introduced to me but will encounter with this all powerful motivating factor.

TAKEN FOR A RIDE

Excerpt # 6.

It was Friday afternoon the phone rang at the office. It was Mildred asking if she could when-the-dust-settles-2008.jpgkeep the car for another day. My sons weren’t going to be with me on that particular weekend, so I consented. Sunday came and went and she had not returned my ride…

THE  FACTS DON’T  COUNT

Excerpt # 5.

when-the-dust-settles-2008.jpgFor the next three weeks, I made phone calls to find out who held the rights to my intended pet project. When I finally made contact with the studio, a woman answered the phone and told me they were not interested in selling the rights to a third party.

That statement didn’t sit well with me. You see, my plane had already taken off, the fasten-your-seat-belt signs were already extinguished, and the hostess was serving the beverage of the day…

 THE LAPD SCREW UP

Excerpt 4.when-the-dust-settles-2008.jpg

Meanwhile my three sons were crying “daddy, daddy, daddy, don’t shoot my daddy.”As I lay face down on the ground, I didn’t think they heard my boy’s screams. They were coming in for what I thought was the kill with drawn, glittering automatic guns. Will this be another police civilian tragedy? In the midst of this incident I was speedily recalling several trigger happy police incidents. In addition, I thought about the numerous car chases I’d seen unfold on TV. Laying face down on the ground..

THE HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE

when-the-dust-settles-2008.jpg

I first met her in one of my acting classes in Hollywood. Let’s call her Debra for the sake of her identity protection. Debra hails from Texas and possesses an amazing acting ability. We’d had the opportunity to work on several scenes together in class. Her acting skills are in the top 20%.

I’ve watched as our coach groomed her for stardom, with everything from the way she dressed, wore her hair, shopped for an agent and much more.She became transformed, and not only did she land a reputable agent but acquired the look of a bankable actress.

Debra soon stepped into mainstream and landed a re-accruing lead role in a TV series. With screen tests completed and everything set and ready to go for the shoot on Monday, she glowed with expectancy. Here’s a copy of the email she sent me. I’ve edited out the name of the show and the network…

FINDING THE OASIS

Excerpt 1.

when-the-dust-settles-2008.jpg

I later met the pastors Philip and Holly Wagner. Philip very reserved and Holly the cheerleader type. Hearing their messages week after week began to have an effect on me. Their series on relationships hit deep to the core. The values, which I was raised on as a child and had implemented in marriage, now had even greater meaning and significance. I wanted to belong there again and eventually returned for more.All excerpts are copy written material and should not be duplicated or used without prior consent from: “Books That Will Enhance Your Life”
