You hold the power to shape your business and your life. This episode opens with a bold reminder: our thoughts are the seeds from which we're constantly creating our outcomes, whether we're aware of it or not. Every decision, big or small, sets a cause in motion and eventually brings about real results. Even when that voice in your head says “just settle,” you always have the choice to take a new action and spark a new effect.
Understanding the law of cause and effect isn’t just philosophy—it’s the foundation for changing your reality. When you see yourself as the source of your results, you gain the confidence and motivation to build the business and life you actually want. If you’re feeling stuck by old habits or slow progress, realizing your ability to choose differently is the most important step forward.
What You Need to Know
Your thoughts lead to emotions, which fuel your actions, and those actions create your results. This thought-to-action sequence is always in play. Even the self-doubt and limiting beliefs that whisper in your mind set off their own chain of results. Being intentional with your thoughts means you start choosing the actions that move you closer to your goals, instead of sabotaging your efforts.
Growth rarely happens in times of comfort. According to Donna Kunde and Londina Cruz, it’s in the challenges that we truly shift and expand. Progress may be slower than you want it to be, but just like a seed that takes time to sprout, your consistent efforts are always cultivating future results.
What You Need to Do
Take ownership. Notice the actions you’re taking now and where they’re leading you—good or bad. If you want to change your results, start by shifting your thoughts and the small habits guiding your daily routine. Affirm where you want to go, and make small but consistent changes that support that direction.
Be gentle with yourself if you slip up or encounter setbacks. Rather than getting stuck in guilt, redirect your energy and choose a new action. The more you practice this, the more naturally you’ll respond with the choices that align with your bigger vision.
Your Next Step
Start by reflecting on an area of your life or business where you want different results. What are the current actions and habits that are creating your outcomes right now? Identify one thought or belief to upgrade—and one small, new action you can take this week to support your desired result.

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 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.
