“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”-- Confucius

You choose and will choose everything that happens to you for your own growth and development. Doing so restores dignity and adventure to life and transforms even the most seemingly negative circumstances into opportunities for growth.

Acting on the belief that we choose our own realities – and that we do so for good, trustworthy reasons – empowers us because it renames our experience in a way that allows us to receive its gift, whatever that gift might be.

There are many books of affirmations that suggest substituting positive phrases for negative ones in our internal and external dialogue. All of them tell us that our words program our unconscious and that our unconscious affects our actions – conscious and unconscious. We can enter “the other world” of our own internal dialogue and by changing that, change our outer life.

There are five levels of the Magician:

Shadow - Evil Sorcerer or wicked witch, synchronistic negative occurrences, calling negativity to oneself, or turning positive in negative occurrences

Call - Physical or emotional illness, or extrasensory or synchronistic experiences

Spiral One - Experiencing healing or choosing to notice extrasensory or synchronistic experiences

Spiral Two - Grounding inspiration by acting on your visions and making them real; making your dreams come true

Spiral Three - Consciously using the knowledge that everything is connected to everything else; developing mastery of the art of changing physical realities by first changing mental, emotional and spiritual ones

Be aware of someone with whom you have difficulty. In your daydreams, contact your higher or deeper, wiser Self. Then in your imagination, talk to that person’s higher or deeper, wiser Self. Work the issue though on that level. When you return to your ordinary level of consciousness, simply observe whether there is any change in your relationship with that other person the next time you meet him or her.

Begin listening to your internal conversation. If you note yourself making a negative comment about yourself, others, or events, stop and turn the statement into a positive one. For example, if you find yourself thinking, “I'll never attract the kind of person I want to love; I'm short, fat, and not bright,’ turn the statement into, “I'm attractive in mind and body, and I attract too many people equally as attractive,

”Allow yourself to feel the positive emotions that surround the second statement. If at first you are too skeptical to have good feelings about your positive statement, play around with it until you find a form that does make you feel good. For example, if you are not ready to see yourself as attractive yet, you might say, “I eat small amounts of healthy food and I study good books, so I am attracting love from people who also care about health and intelligence.“ Notice how changes in your thinking change your life.

She is an internationally recognized Business Coach and Trainer bringing 20+ years’ experience in military leadership. Donna has been a serial entrepreneur for the last 25 years owning a range of businesses experiencing the unique challenges solopreneurs face with small business growth.

A high point of Donna's training career happened when she accompanied Dr. John C. Maxwell and his team on a country transformation mission. At the request of the Costa Rican government, the Maxwell team successfully trained 15,000 Round Table facilitators in three days, resulting in a 2% transformation of that nation and projected to reach another 60,000 Costa Ricans the following week. Her trademark energetic communication style and teaching skills have earned her a reputation as a highly effective speaker and respected facilitator.

Londina Cruz
Executive Coach, Speaker and Trainer

Londina Cruz is an International Trainer, Executive Coach, and Keynote Speaker with the John Maxwell Team and a Strategic Coach with Anthony Robbins.  Londina is a part of Global Transformation with the John Maxwell Foundation, training thousands of leaders in Paraguay and Costa Rica to help transform the values and culture of these nations.

She has spent more than 25 years studying, coaching and consulting in personal mastery and human performance techniques. These techniques include emotional and social intelligence trainings that elevate individuals, leaders and their organizations to excel well beyond current standards – offering a dynamic competitive advantage.

Londina has taken a situation that would devastate most individuals, being hit by a drunk driver, and has turned it into her life force. In this accident, Londina sustained a traumatic head injury, broken back and broken neck. The doctors gave her little hope of a normal life.   She has now turned this challenge into an extraordinary life of empowering others to turn their fears into freedom and reach their potential.

Mastering her limiting beliefs and overcoming all that doctors had told her, Londina has thrived physically as well.

She has become a Triathlete (competing in a Half-Ironman and medaling in numerous other triathlons), a two-time marathon runner (Nike Women’s in San Francisco and the Marine Corps in Washington), and a cyclist.

She has released 100 lbs. by taking control of her thoughts instead of allowing thoughts to control her.

She knows what it takes to take you and your team from where you are to where you want to be.
