\\u201cOn the day that we met . . . I noticed a crown on the top of your head . . . .I always knew just what your crown meant. It meant that you were MAGNIFICENT.\\u201d

\\u201cThat means you are grand from your toes to your chin. Take a deep breath, and let that sink in . . . . and it means, like a star, YOU WERE BORN TO SHINE . . . .\\u201d

\\u201cWhatever it is you choose to do, no one can do it exactly like you. . . . And if you fall down, remember your glorious, marvelous crown. It won\\u2019t flicker or fade. It won\\u2019t dim. It won\\u2019t leave. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE.\\u201d

\\u201cThe world is a wonderland waiting for you. And you get to share it with all your friends, too! They each have a crown that is faithful and true. No one\\u2019s is brighter, no one\\u2019s is duller. It\\u2019s only a crown of a different color.

So sometimes, just every now and then, whisper \\u2018I believe\\u2019 again. Your crown is your best friend forever, by far. It tells the true story of just who you are.\\u201d
