“Don't be anyone's firefly in a jar! A lot of people are attracted to the light. Some are also intimidated by it. They selfishly try to keep it for themselves. Sometimes it happens so fast, you don't even realize you're being captured. There is magic within you that will suffocate in a jar. If you wake up one morning and realize there's a lid above you, do whatever it takes to free yourself. Life is much better beyond the jar. The world needs your light! Shine, Baby, shine!”

“Just like the Little Dragon, you can choose to feel your feelings and to make positive changes. Everyone has emotions and we can learn to express them in a healthy way. Sharing things that bring you joy and behaving respectfully toward others can help build friendships. Life is more fun when shared with friends.”
