Good morning, my young ninja turtles. It is a new day, and the shadows of the city call out to us. As I sit here in our lair, I am reminded of the importance of discipline and unity.

Today, I choose to rise from my meditation because I am Splinter, your sensei and guide in the ways of the ninja. The world outside is filled with challenges and dangers, and it is our duty to protect the city and uphold justice.

The comfort of our home may be inviting, but I understand that every morning is an opportunity to train, to master our skills, and to become true heroes.

So, I’ll rise with wisdom and determination, ready to face whatever adversaries we may encounter. I’ll remind myself that every day is a chance to nurture your growth and help you become the heroes this city needs.

Today, I will take that first step into the world, alongside my ninja family, ready to face our destiny together.

Remember, my sons, it is not the weapon, but the ninja who wields it that makes the difference. Let’s rise, embrace the teachings of the ninja, and continue our mission to protect this city. I’ve got this, and I won’t let the allure of comfort deter us from our path. It’s time to rise, shine, and defend the innocent, as true heroes of the shadows.
