Midnight Hour: Strengthening your Harmony Element
11 years ago
-Written by Boardgamebrony-
Good evening/morning/twilight time everypony. Trailing on the heels of the last two topics from the previous nights, I’d like to talk about the idea I was leading up to when I mentioned the elements of harmony.
Two nights ago I asked: Are there elements of harmony you feel you personally need to work on?
We had some excellent responses and I am very impressed with you guys. It seems as if you were waiting for an opportunity to touch upon some deeper discussions and I’m very happy to see you all engaging the topics so fervently.
I want to say I’m so happy to see how many of you showed such compassionate hearts last night for the passing of brony Adam Smith. May he rest in peace.
Let’s think forward to the future now and consider all those people who could use our help.
You know what? Let’s start with one person who could definitely use your help more than anyone. If you want to know who they are, simply take a look in the mirror.
Tonight’s 2-part question: When it comes to the Elements of Harmony, what lengths would you go through in order to become that better individual, that paragon of Harmony? What would you do to improve your life and the lives of those around you?
As always, allow me to start this off:
Many of you may have seen the following poll: http://drawponies.deviantart.com/jo...../poll/4869787/
I recently bought a video camera. I’ve been wanting to film brony-related things ever since last year, but didn’t have the money to get one. You guys can thank Neil Drawponies for helping me with opportunities to finally get what I wanted. : ) (Thanks Neil :P )
And now I plan on using that video camera to inspire other people, not just myself.
I think if I were to focus on strengthening my Element of Harmony focus (Kindness in this case), I would try to find a unique way to approach it, through these videos.
Deviantart user Dylgo referenced two excellent Markiplier quotes on last night’s news story:
---
“Always remember that no matter how bad things in your life get, you are not alone, you are all heroes.” –Markiplier
“All your life, you’ll meet people that only want to bring you down, forget them, stand strong with the people that build you up. Be who you want to be, not who people tell you to be.” –Markiplier

Markiplier is a Youtuber who’s well-known for creating Let’s Plays. He has almost 5,000,000 subscribers. I find him so cheery and fun to listen to, because he’s always so positive. And sometimes he makes videos where he talks directly to the viewers, inspiring them, calling them beautiful, calling them heroes. I’d say that’s kindness right there, using his platform to inspire people and make them happy. He certainly makes me happy. : )
I think I can do that too. That’s why I want to make audio journeys, where people close their eyes and listen to voice actors guide them through an imagined beautiful adventure as though they were part of the action.
That’s why I want to make comedy skits, so people can laugh on those hard days when things just don’t seem to be going right for them.
That’s why I want to be able to be so in-character and so good at what I do, that having people simply watch the videos makes them happier.
I’d like to think that’s a form of kindness.
What would you do, to strengthen your desired Element of Harmony?

Oh, increase my element? Hmm.... Dunno.
