Title: Life Is Magic Pdf An Extraordinary True Story of Trauma and Transformation
In the tradition of inspirational best sellers by Glennon Doyle Melton and Brené Brown, Life Is Magic is Jon Dorenbos's extraordinary and empowering true story of resilience, forgiveness, and living a life of purpose in the face of unfathomable obstacles.
You may know him as an NFL All-Pro or as a world-class magician who made the finals of America's Got Talent. But Jon Dorenbos says that what he does is not who he is. Who he is is someone forced, at the most tender of ages, to coach himself into turning tragedy to triumph.
One morning in August 1992, when Jon was 12 years old and living a seemingly idyllic childhood in suburban Seattle, he woke up for baseball camp. His dad waved good-bye. Later that day, Jon heard the news: His father had murdered his mother in the family's three-car garage. In an instant, his life had shattered. He'd been essentially orphaned.
Thrust into foster care while his father stood trial for murder, Jon struggled. Left to himself, he discovered an unlikely escape performing magic tricks. If you found a way to alter your reality, after your dad - your hero - killed your mom, wouldn't you cling to it, too? Then came football, which provided a release for all of his pent-up anger. Together, magic and football saved him, leading to 14 NFL seasons on the gridiron and raucous sleight of hand performances to packed houses across the globe.
In 2017, traded to the New Orleans Saints, Jon was diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition. He had a choice: Break down? Or - as he'd by now long taught himself - bounce back? "Talk to yourself, don't listen to yourself", Dorenbos advises for those moments when, facing seemingly insurmountable odds, the inner voice of self-doubt screams.
In Life Is Magic, Jon Dorenbos draws a roadmap for how to shut that voice up by choosing happiness. At his darkest times, he writes, he's learned lessons of love, forgiveness, and perseverance. His story is poignant and powerful, told by a charismatic and optimistic man who has overcome life and death challenges with grace, persistence, a child-like sense of wonder...and jaw-dropping card tricks.
Jon's story--WOW! Just WOW! I caught the end of the Ellen show with Jon promoting his book. I had no idea who Jon was or his story. I was intrigued by the promo and ordered the book.Jon's story--WOW! Just WOW! Jon and his family suffered the tragic murder of his mother. Thankfully with therapy and magic, Jon was able to find the good in the world. His positive attitude helped others around him and he continues to scatter kindness!Incredible book! It’s not just what you overcome it’s how you overcome! I have been excited for the release of Life is Magic for some time now. Jon does a “magical” job of sharing his story but it’s not just what he has overcome that makes him unique it’s how he has overcome.Life is Magic, is about a man who lives in the vision of what he wants to be and doesn’t let his beliefs be dictated by the circumstances of his childhood. This book will motivate you to be the best person you can be, not because Jon tells you to be but because Jon has been through so much in his life but still treats everyday like it’s a blessing.As a parent of soon to be 4 children, a basketball coach and a business owner I rarely have time to pick up a book and read, but Life is Magic I could not put down. A story of perseverance, a story of hope and a story of forgiveness. Get a copy, you will be very happy you did."Life is Magic," turns your heart "right side up." "Life is Magic," is a truly heartbreaking beautiful, funny and inspiring book. Jon Dorenbos is refreshingly honest and transparent in recounting the loss of his Mom at the hands of his father. The journal entries included while coping with the loss of his Mom give you an insight into the grieving process and show that there is no one true order in which we come out on the other side. Jon shows that you can come through and accomplish anything in life with forgiveness and belief in ones self. It will make you cry, laugh and I challenge any one to put it down.
