It's Your Choice

03.01.10

As I sit down to write for this months “Danny’s Voice” it is an exciting time.  I have my debut album being released this month (March 2nd, 2010).  Next month we are thrilled to launch our very own Sophia’s Heart of Music & Arts programming to start in Milwaukee, WI and in Nashville, TN.  All these things have finally physically manifested into reality, while just a while ago they were only a dream in my heart.  I’ve come to notice that all these great things have been birthed by one common denominator; a choice. 

 

Dreams just don’t fall out of the sky and into our laps.  If you’re dreaming to become a surgeon, you won’t wake up one morning with a doctorates degree and a head full of the knowledge to carry out surgical procedures.   It is something that comes into being through deliberate and consistent choices.

 

If you look over your life you will notice that the very place you are at today is 100% connected to the choices you have made.  Some of you may look back at your life and say that some things were not your fault, and perhaps you were a victim of child abuse or you were born into a very poor family and that is why you are there.   I completely understand and sympathize with people who have been dealt a hard hand in life.  However, you must understand that if you stay stuck in your past, defeated by what has happened, that, in itself, is a choice.  So many of us have had things thrown in our lap that isn’t our fault, but I want to give you some good news; your choices today can turn it around.  You have the power to change those negative situations around, become stronger and help other people who are stuck in the same spot that you once were. Here are 5 easy steps that you can hang onto and meditate on while making new choice.

  1. Let go of the past and all the negative feelings associated with it
  2. Begin to believe that you can make better choices and that things can turn around for the better
  3. Have faith in God to get you through and make you stronger
  4. Be patient and consistent day in and day out 
  5. Watch your life completely change and new healthy habits form 

As you begin this process you will notice that in the beginning it might be tough, but as you press through it will get easier and easier!  This is because you are beginning to form new habits.  I really want you to enjoy life, but the first key in enjoying life is to take responsibility for all your actions and know the power you have with the choices you make.

DANNY,

FRIST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR WIFE, I LOST MY HUSDAND SUDDENLY IN 2007, AND THERE IS NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OF HIM, HE WAS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. I SAW YOU SING THE SONG MY BEST DAYS, MY HUSBAND'S NAME WAS DANIEL, AND HIS MOM CALLED HIM DANNY. ANYWAY WHEN I SAY YOU SING THAT SONG I WENT OUT THE NEXT DAY AND BOUGHT YOUR CD, THE SONG - I WILL NOT SAY GOODBYE REMINDS ME OF MY HUSBAND. AND I READ THE NOTE ABOUT SOPHIA, SO GLAD I DID BECAUSE , I DO KNOW WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH AND GOING THROUGH. I KNOW THAT MY HUSBAND IS STILL WITH ME, AND HELPS ME, AND IS STILL WATCHING OVER ME. I KNOW GOD IS TOO. SO THANK YOU FOR WRITTING THAT , AND FOR THE WORDS OF STRENTH THAT I FELT FROM THAT.  I LOVE THE WHOLE CD. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND SOME DAY WE BOTH WILL BE WITH OUR LOVED ONE AGAIN.
