Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.

This quote is suggesting that hope can be very powerful and inspiring. While there is no literal “magic” behind it, when you have a clear idea of what you hope for and you focus on it and stay determined to achieve it, it can be like magic in that it will help you make things happen and get closer to achieving your goal.
