Hello, my friends. I hope everyone is doing fantabulous (my word, got the copyright, lol). I get a lot of questions like “Am I the one writing them?” or statements like “That’s the Law of Attraction.” or,… you get the idea.

Truthfully, I write them all and if I borrow from someone, I give them credit. They say there really aren’t any new ideas, just different ways to say the same thing, so perhaps that is why some of them sound or read like you’ve heard it before. The best advice is timeless. 🙂 Also, my website is being updated as I write this and it will feature my Tankism’s, my blogs, my albums, pictures from events, updates, etc. When it’s done I will be posting a bulletin and try to get the info out to all of you via comment. There are a lot of you now, so sometimes the Tankism’s come later than they used to. If you need encouragement, shoot me a note and I will do my best. Some of you already know that, though as I’ve sent you something when requested and I hope it helped 🙂

I have been on the phone, writing emails, scouring the web and its sites to find investors for the films that I’m executive producing. Honestly, it’s so much fun and the only other thing that I’d rather be doing is the actual “acting.” This is the setup that will allow me to do that more often so I’m just laying the groundwork.

I don’t have time to wait on someone to “need me.” I continue to audition, continue to persevere and “KNOW” that every “NO” leads me closer to my “GOAL,” my “DREAM” which I have clearly defined. I encourage all of you, if you have not made up your mind as to why you are here on this planet, please do so NOW! Don’t wait, don’t delay, don’t waste another day, hour, minute or second. Don’t waste another thought on “woe is me.”

Zig Ziglar, the famous author, saleman and motivational speaker talks about people having pity parties all the time. The problem with these types of parties is that often the person throwing the party is the only one that shows up and the people that do come don’t bring presents!

I often wonder about the news junkies out there that have to know what’s going on, have to be tuned in to CNN (C.onstant N.egative N.ews for those of you who didn’t know what CNN really means 🙂 ) who spend their time and their thoughts on everything under the sun EXCEPT what they really want… They leave it all up to chance, leave it all up to somebody else…

People are the creators of their own lives, their own fates and so few realize it until they are faced with a life threatening situation. My advice to anyone who is searching is to keep going, keep pushing, keep striving for what you want. And, if you don’t know what you want, then that’s the first thing you need to do is FIGURE IT OUT in as much detail as possible and keep your thoughts on it with full faith that it will come to fruition.

When you meet with obstacles, and you will, don’t focus on the obstacle, focus on the goal. Your mind is your world, your thoughts are the GPS and your emotions are the compass. Point all of it in the right direction. If you don’t know the direction, it will take you all over and leave you clueless as to where you are.

Lastly, whenever you are met with opposition and people and circumstance keep telling you “NO!” just “KNOW!” Thomas Edison said that he knew he was going to succeed because he had run out of ways to do things wrong! Imagine having that kind of mind, that kind of fortitude… Not the “Why doesn’t anything ever seem to work for me?!” attitude but the, “Wow, I must be close because none of that stuff was working so let me try this!” attitude.

With millions of minds working like that, there is no room for war, no room for poverty, no room for illness, no room for despair. Those thoughts, on a massive scale lead only to prosperity, enjoyment and happiness. Try it, I DARE YA!
