Definition of Aspiration

noun

 A hope or ambition of achieving 

something

Finding My Feet

In life we will have moments where we feel like we do 

not belong and we feel like an outcast. It can take time 

to find your feet as long as you are trying. So even if you 

feel like you do not belong somewhere don't waste your 

life hiding away, let people get to know you for doing the 

one thing that is sometimes the most important. Be 

yourself.

Achiving Your Goal

One of my favourite quotes is 'Nothing is imposible, the 

word itself says i'm possible'. Audrey Hepburn said that 

and it's always stuck with me when I feel like I can't 

achieve something. No matter how big or small your 

goal is, you can achieve it. It may take time and hard 

work but when you achieve your goal you will know that 

ANYTHING can happen.

We must always expect disappointments in life. It's 

apart of life and it makes us more educated. We can 

want to be famous but it is a one in a million chance. 

But we should never give up. Perseverance is the key to 

success. If you want to be a doctor then be a doctor. If 

you want to be an actor then be an actor. If you want to 

be a singer then be a singer. Don't listen to anyone else 

but yourself.

'Be yourself everyone else is already taken

-Oscar Wilde

If everyone in the world was the same the world would 

be very boring! Don't stop being who you are because 

someone has told you to change. If you act crazy keep 

on acting crazy as long as your happy with yourself then 

you're living your life in freedom!

Sometimes we tend to copy what we see on TV. We 

think we have to look a certain way or act a certain 

way to get noticed. We all must feel comfortable in our 

own skin, and in our own bodies or we are not living 

are lives happily. If someone tries to change you tell 

that person that you are not going to change.

Actions speak louder than words

We can tell a person we love them a million times. We 

should all show the people we love just how much we 

love them with our actions not just by saying we love 

them. So the next time you see a loved one, show them 

how much they truly mean to you, not just with your 

words, but with your actions that can mean so much to 

someone.

Mistakes

Mistakes are what makes us all human. We all need to 

make mistakes in order to live our lives properly. Even 

I make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, and we all should 

learn from our mistakes so we do not continue to make 

that mistake. The next time you make a mistake no 

matter how big or small, when you regret it insure 

yourself that you do not make the same mistake 

again.

Obstacles 

In life we come across alot of dilemmas and we can feel 

like we should give up something. We need to all 

persevere and face our dilemmas and by the time you 

have faced your dilemma, it will have made you a 

stronger person and it will make you work even harder 

for the next problem you face.  

Motivation

I believe that every one should have something or 

someone to believe in. Whether it's a friend or a loved 

one, use them as motivation to follow your dreams to 

make you work harder. So if you find something 

challenging, you could have a picture in your pocket of 

the one thing that makes you want to carry on 

something. Its amazing how one thing could make a big 

difference.

Starting Again

No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Which is why 

we have to make the most of today. We can loose a lot of 

things in life that we love with all our hearts. But we can 

never really forget about the past. Something will always 

remind us of something or someone we have lost. But we 

need to let nothing stop us from living. If we are all living 

in sadness and depression we are not living our lives.

When we feel like giving up, we should all think about 

someone who we have sadly lost and say to ourselves 

would they really want me living like this? It's not easy 

starting again. We can loose a lot of things in life that 

could makes us loose our way but we have to think about 

the future not the past. I like to say to myself, yesterday 

is history and tomorrow is a mystery.

Friends

We sometimes are shocked because we think the person 

who is supposed to be our friend turns their back on us all 

of a sudden. The way to find out if a person is your true 

friend is if they stick by you through the good and the bad 

times. People can turn their back on you and can 

sometimes say or do things to offend you so they can look 

big and tough for popularity. But what people need to 

understand is that words can hurt.

I have never believed in the saying, sticks and stones may 

break my bones but words will never hurt me. At the end 

of the day words will hurt and they can sometimes hurt 

more than being punched in the face. Words can seriously 

hurt people. And they can follow the person for the rest of 

their life. My advice for everyone is that choose your 

words wisely because words can have a serious impact and 

consequence.

Rushing through life

For a lot of us kids we tend to rush ahead of life. We do 

or say things to make us act more like an adult. My mum 

has told me so many times to enjoy being a kid. As a 

child myself I have a lot of luxuries and privileges for me 

and I make the most of it. I have a lot of doors open for 

me and as I get older I will be opening doors for other 

people.

I cannot say how many times I have seen young love. Us 

children like to be the center of attention and we think 

we know everything but we don't. We all have a lot to 

learn, I to have a lot to learn and I am ready for what life 

has to throw at me. I want to live my life to the fullest 

and do things that make me truly happy.

Letting Go

We all need to forget about the past and move on with 

our lives. Whatever mistakes we have made or anything 

that is holding us back we all have to let go and continue 

with our life. We can not go back in time and erase any 

errors in our life but what we can do is learn from them 

and don't repeat them. I always think of this. Everybody 

dies but not everybody lives. We all will die but if we are 

not living are life in happiness and freedom then we are 

not living our lives to the fullest.

Trying something new

When we try something new for the first time we might 

realize how much fun and enjoyable it is and it could 

lead to something spectacular. My friend was talking to 

someone and she said how sometimes in relationships 

that when two people are the same it could make the 

relationship quite boring. But two opposites is much 

better. Think of relationships like magnets. When you 

have both ends the same they repel and when you have 

two 

opposite sides they attract.

Standing Up

We all should stand up for what we believe in because 

someone else who has the same beliefs might not. Your 

opinions could have such a huge impact. Anything is 

possible nothing is impossible. We may loose friends or 

people we care about for 

standing up for what is right but if your voice must 

be heard then use it! 

Inspiration

When I go outside I look for things that inspire me 

because they may be really useful to me. Like if you are 

writing a song you can look around for things that 

inspire you. People can even inspire you. Your friend 

can

help you to achieve something. Let the world be your 

oyster. You may realize that the world is a wonderful 

place and is full of so much more than cars and people.

Making a difference

Each of us were put in the world for a reason. God gave 

each and every one of us a gift. They way we 

use our gives is up to no one else but us. We can use are 

gifts for the bad and get no where in life or we can use 

our gifts for the good an make something of ourselves 

and actually achieve our dreams. We can make a big 

difference in the world as long as we believe in ourselves. 

Even one smile can make a huge difference!

Dreams

In life we can want to be or do something so badly but 

we don't do anything to achieve our dreams. It takes 

constant work and sometimes help along the way to 

reach our goals. But if we do not do anything to achieve 

our dreams then there is no point dreaming. It may be a 

long and hard process but when there's a will there's a 

way. I see my life as one big book. It is up to me to fill 

the pages and make the chapters never end.

a woman in it"

your strength lies."

Something that we're not

Not that long ago I wrote an essay on girls that want to 

look like a model. I was very pleased with my level, but 

I meant every word I wrote on that paper. Very often in 

life we all would like to be something or want something 

in life that is very hard to be or have it. But I am just 

thankful for being alive! Yes, I might want things that 

are too expensive but I do not NEED them. 

Doing something for others

Just because your having a bad day doesn't mean who 

can't change someone else's. You don't have to do much 

for that person, just a simple smile and hello is enough to 

keep me happy. It is always better to give than to 

receive. Thinking of others is a great thing to do as long 

as you put yourself first before anyone else. You don't 

have to do something for someone you know, if you see 

the homeless on the street why don't you give them some 

food. Don't be kind because your told to. Be kind because 

you want to be.

Love is stronger than hate any day. We choose to hate 

but we can't control love. The next time your having a 

disagreement with another person, try to make up with 

them because their life could be far worst than yours will 

ever be. Doing things for others will make you a better 

person and you will feel like a good person. Don't let in 

hate. Let in love.

Happiness 

They say if you look good you feel good. People might 

judge they way you look and not like your appearance, 

but why should you care? As long as you feel 

comfortable in your own skin then you have got nothing 

to worry about. Happiness is one of the most important 

things in the world. When you feel happy then nothing 

should stop you. When others see a big smile on your 

face then they will have a big smile on their face.

Something that makes me truly happy is music.Whenever I 

am in a bad mood and feel stressed, I just put on a song 

that expresses what I am feeling and it works every time. 

Music for me sets me free. It is like I am in another world 

where no one is bothering me it's just me. And singing is 

another thing that makes me happy. I sing everyday. I 

think that everyone should do something that makes them 

happy when they are having a bad day. The thing you love 

the most can be the thing that gives you strength.

Proving people wrong

People can be stereo-typical about someone or something. 

People can judge people without getting to know them or 

what they are capable of. People might think that girls are 

bad at sport. I have a friend who is like a sister to me and 

she proved that girls are great at basketball when she won 

an award for best basketball player in school. Showing 

people what you can do, proving people wrong let's the 

world change what they think about you. They won't be 

able to assume things about you when you prove them 

wrong.

Isolation

When we are depressed and feel worthless we can tend to 

isolate others around us. We only feel more depressed 

because we are not saying what we really feel. We keep 

things bottled in and in until we come to breaking point. 

Letting people know what's really on your mind allows you 

to get a weight off your back and it allows you to get help if 

needed. The next time you are depressed and you isolate 

people, say to yourself I need to get this weight off my 

back.

Getting to know yourself

We all know what's on our mind. But not all of us know 

what we are capable of. We should all set a goal for 

ourselves to try something new once a week. It allows us 

to get to know ourselves better. I think getting to know 

ourselves is a really healthy thing to do. We will be full up 

of so much knowledge.

and we can pass on our knowledge to others and inspire 

them to do the same.

Flaws

No one is flawless. We all have things we wish we could 

change about ourselves but instead of wanting to 

change that thing that we are ashamed about ourselves 

the most we should be embracing it with the best of our 

ability. Worrying what others think of you, sets you back 

in life. We hide away from everyone when we worry 

what they think of us. But nobody is perfect. We all eat, 

sleep and talk. Nobody is better than anybody, we are 

all the same.

Perfection?

I personally believe that perfection is a myth. What is 

perfection, really? We use the word perfection for when 

we make a cake and we think it looks perfect but it's 

really being bias. That's what perfection is. It is a bias 

word and I hardly ever use it.

When we try to impress people with our looks we can 

end up being disappointed with ourselves because we 

are only being noticed with our looks not our 

personalities. My advice to people is to stop hiding 

behind make up and false nails and let the world see 

who you really are. You might no get the reaction you 

want but you will know that you are being true to 

yourself.

Reputation 

The way we act makes people decide whether your a nice 

person or not. Always treat people the way you would 

like to be treated. Don't expect someone to show 

kindness towards you if you do not show them respect 

yourself. Make a change today show people what your 

really like. 

I know a lot of people who act hard and bad because they 

believe they will earn respect. Children may respect them 

now but when they are older and more mature, they will 

realize that acting bad should not get them the respect 

they want. The next time your with someone and they act 

rude to get noticed tell them what you think about they 

way they are acting.
