I am not looking for reviews this time. I am not looking for likes. I am not looking for praise or attention. I am here to make you strong.
I know and I understand what you are going through. Whatever it is, homework, stress, depression, anxiety, your job, your friends, your relationship, and everything else. Your sadness; I can feel it. Your worries; I have been through them. I KNOW what it feels like. You feel hopeless, wanting to give up.
But I say, don't. I know many inspirational speeches say this, but don't give up. Did you try your best? That's all that matters. In life, you try your best, you be the best version of yourself. Leave your past behind. The pain you've been through; the grief you experienced. It's time to start new. To leave your old self and start a journey towards the light.
You have been settled in darkness. The only time you fail, is when you give up. So don't. Don't think that you failed anyone, don't think that you failed yourself.
And I tell you. Dream BIG. I don't care what it is, making Olympics, becoming an author, riding an UNICORN. No dream is ridiculous. Don't care what others say. If they make fun of your appearance, ignore them. You know their nasty comments aren't true, so why are you accepting it? Why are you doing nothing? Stand up for yourself. Ignore them as much as you can. I'll be here for you. Always. I've been through a lot. Bullying, embarrassment, sadness, anxiety.
Let their comments bounce off of you like a trampoline. Laugh at their bullying. They are ridiculous. "Oh, you are so ugly!"
Laugh it off. Treat them as a joke. Treat their insults as a joke. Then, they won't know you're hurting. They will give up on making fun of you when they see you don't care. You know that's not true!
Dream BIG. Work towards your dreams. Every time you make a mistake, or go down the wrong path, you've learnt your lesson. Everyone has a purpose in life. Everyone has that one secret goal. Work towards it. Slowly, but steadily. Every day, get a little bit further. Work a little bit harder. Think a little bit bigger. You are not useless. You are great.
Leave those fake friends behind. I tell you, leave those who bring you down, envy you, never supports you towards your goal. It would make your life much better. Surround yourself with those you love. Those who support you and respect you, no matter what choices you make, or what mistakes you cause. Those who laugh it off and comfort you every time you let yourself down.
I've been through all that. I've been through fake friends and toxic relationships. Your life is your own, your choices are YOURS and yours only. Don't let what others say impact you. Let them raise you up. Let them make you determined to WIN. Determined to work harder, smarter, climbing further. If they laugh and say you can't run 1 mile, run 2 miles. If they say you can't swim 400 meters, swim 1000. Wipe that smirk off their faces.
Dream BIG. Your life matters to all of us. Your life matters to Christ.
Your dreams matter. Make yourself motivated.
I say to you, print this out. Put it on your wall. Every time you feel down, feel energy. Fire burning inside of you, energy bursting out of you. Every time you feel like you have failed, CLIMB HARDER. Make that failure your lesson, making you stronger and bolder. Your inner confidence; let it out.
I know what it feels like to be discouraged. My swimming; long course; I added seconds on EVERY single one. I cried with failure. I was going to give up. But then, but then, I felt energy. My loss was just another thing to be proven wrong when I rise. When I rise, I will look back on this and think, "I am glad I never gave up."
If you failed now; what about your dreams and goals? Are they just going to fade into dust? NO. I'm not going to let that happen. Keep living your dreams and goals. They are alive within you.
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
Work hard.
You will soon deserve all the rewards.

Hello there CATS!!!
This is the fastest review ever because I have four minutes to complete this!!!
I just wanna say this is truly inspirartional and you have such a big heart so thank you. You always are trying to lift people up when they are at their lowest. I genuinely don't know how you have so much strength. I'm so grateful to be able to call you my best friend. I see you helping people or trying to at least. I don't even think you understand how much of a difference that makes on people's lives. I know for sure that if it weren't for you, I might not be here right now.
I know this isn't a review really but I just wanted to let you get the love you deserve because you wasted your points just to share this message
Love,
Hop
aw, even tho it was a fast review, i loved hearing your words and i know you are an independent yOuNg lAdY who is creative and thoughtful, and im sure you wouldve stayed <33
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Read this with a hurting neck because I'm staying up late for the sake of these dreams I have so I most definately can relate to this.
The mere fact that this is an inspirational speech caught my attention immediately. I think we could all agree that from time to time we all need motivation/inspiration. In addion with its title " DREAM BIG", I feel like this is exactly what I need right now.
Involving Christ in one of your lines makes it a plus for me because I'm a Christian and it makes me proud to see someone who tells the world their faith directly or indirectly
This piece has a very good structure given that it is broken into brief points that make it easy for readers to understand _ it also makes it look less boring and tiring, passing points accross clearly for easier umderstanding.
Although this speech is great, it feels a little too serious and more like an elderly person trying to force their ideals on me . I simply find it too authoritative for youngsters and also think adding other examples that are not the speaker's own personal experiences would make it more inspiring and motivating while making it all the more intertesting to read.
This is really thoughtful of you, I mean trying to boost us. Thank you
This is an honest review from I who am still learning to write reviews so feel free to highlight anywhere I went wrong while writing this. I'll listen and work on it
Hi! Welcome to YWS! I'm so glad you took the time to read this. For the improvement suggestions, I feel like yes, I'm 80 years old LOL
Thank you so much for the feedback, it will come to good use!\

Hey, CATS!
I just wanted to say this has been really helpful. I didn't know I really needed to hear those words until I did. You're undeniably great at these pep talks.
Right off the bat, you comfort the reader that you know what they feel. This subtly tells them they're not alone in their struggles, you're effortlessly sympathetic.
'Don't give up' is a classic advice for a reason - because it holds. There is nothing that human perseverance can't beat. You may fail a few initial times, but defeating your demons is just a matter of time. To get up even when you're exhausted is the most brave favour you can do to yourself, and you've captured that really well. Trying one's best is what truly matters.
The idea of leaving the past behind to advance into the future's new light is so rejuvenating and refreshing - I'm entranced by the peace it brings.
Ouch, that one hit close to home.. thanks for the assuring words.
The hope this suggestion carries is so promising. I really need to set up some goals to strive towards.

Real wise and enthusiastic words! I could learn a thing or two from you.
So resonating. It reminds me of the exam I was about to quit midday, but I didn't. I'm so thankful to my past self for showing such resilience in the face of crisis. Without it, I won't be going to college tomorrow.
The fiery support is much appreciated! <3
I'm sorry you had to go through go through all these difficulties yourself. But as they say, I prefer people who have seen pain, for they're much kinder. This writing found me when I needed it most. Thanks again, I'll never forget these golden words.
Don't mind me putting this in as a review, I need the count to become golden lol. Plus it's crowding the Green Room so I thought it's better to get it out of the way to make way for the elusive goose (I shall not lose hope yet).
Thanks for your review! I really wasn't expecting three awesome reviews from you when I got back
you really melt my heart! My friends say I'm good at inspirational speeches and stuff...I suppose it's because I can relate to struggles! Keep going my friend, and never give up!!!
All love and hugs,
