God wants us to be in joy, God wants us to be happy. Because of this extraordinary consciousness and this great ability for wonder and marvel, and without denying any of the terrors and horrors of the world, we also have an obligation toward joy and toward miracle and excitement.

Focus on your unique qualities that deserve to be celebrated and put fear back in its place. Don't listen to it. Onward.

Best way to take a toy away from a toddler is distract the kid, give him something else to play with.
