Don't be afraid of the dark.

Once darkness has what its wants, it drops you like a hot potato.

We all know what we have to do what the inkling provokes us. We have to do the right thing. We have to make that extra push out of bed, or off the sofa. We must just do it.

Words like __atience_, and __indness_, and __oodness_. They are the words of a hero.

This magic does not work with anger.

Remember your magic.

A blessing changes the atmosphere. If you say something kind like, __ow about being my partner at the annual Spring Fling Dance Contest?_, it__ going to affect the situation. If you say something mean, like __arry Moon, you are shorter than my two-year-old brother,_ it__ going to affect circumstance. It__ the simple rule of cause and effect. You bless. You are bringing positivity. You curse. You are making the atmosphere lethal. All humans have the choice to change the atmosphere by what words they say. Think about it.

Our ability to choose is sacred. It__ what makes humans special.

I don__ give up on people, even when they give up on me.

The world is not fair. That's why it needs heroes.

I have learned it__ best to face down the trouble. Otherwise it will grow into a monster. We don__ have time for monsters.

The Great Magician is very clear when he says there will always be trouble in the world. As for any human today, in my book, that is a call to action. That__ a call to our own inner hero. That hero is inside all of us whether we be fat, skinny, tall, short, black, white, olive, or yellow. We all have the capacity to be heroes in this life.

As the Great Magician says, there will always be trouble in the world. That__ why I say, there will always be a time for heroes.

Put your hand inside the hat, search with your fingers. He is the light wrapped inside the darkness. That__ the wonder of Rabbit. We think he__ not in the hat. But he is.

For a hero is someone who is selfless. Think about it, friends. Superman, Luke Skywalker, and Captain America. They are helping others. They aren__ only thinking for themselves. They are reaching out beyond themselves.

I__l tell you what time it is. It is time to be a hero.

The world is not fair. That's why it needs heroes. Play fair. Be a hero.

Love is a word that can truly change any atmosphere. Love is at the very root of having a positive attitude. To love is to give hope to even the darkest atmosphere. That is why I am so much in Harry Moon__ corner. He really does want to bring light to the darkness.
