Girl Pow-R’s new song, “Stars,” discusses the trials and tribulations of reaching your goals. The inspiring song motivates listeners to find the courage to stand up and keep fighting despite life’s challenges. Don’t limit yourself and reach for the stars; your dreams are not impossible.
We all face everyday challenges but may also take certain things for granted. We have a roof over our heads and food on the table; however, many people across Canada cannot even achieve this bare necessity. Homelessness is a constant struggle worldwide, and many who experience this may feel as if they are at the lowest point of their lives. Let yourself be reminded: once you hit rock bottom, you can only go up, so don’t limit yourself and reach for the stars.
If you are struggling, returning to your previous heights may seem impossible. However, you cannot limit yourself. “Stars” by Girl Pow-R reminds us of this through lyrics such as “Started out as a dream, but, It’s closer than it seems, yeah, Standin’ under the spotlight” that your dreams are not impossible, if you work hard, you can achieve so much. It’s natural to feel inclined to ‘get by,’ but don’t limit yourself and reach for the stars.
For those who struggle to seek refuge or feed themselves at every meal, it can seem like there is no hope left, and this is the end.
Girl Pow-R’s message is so essential; everyone should be able to receive a second chance. Numerous people have shared inspirational stories, and anyone can have that possibility. Many people have gone from rags to riches, which is possible for you too. It does not matter where you started or what bumps you experienced; as long as you keep going, you can accomplish anything. Perhaps the best you can do today is the bare minimum, but tomorrow is another fantastic opportunity to try again.
The lyric “It’s time to go, yeah, Energy overflow, yeah, Once we land, there’s no going back, Brush off the nerves yeah, You’re never on your own” reminds listeners that as you progress, you become grateful for the journey you have travelled. You must constantly be reminded of where you came from and how far you have gone. Once you become thankful for the adventure you have embarked on, it is easier to become amazed by this exciting achievement.
Recognizing the past for its pros and cons can shift your mindset, and you can start telling yourself and others, “don’t limit yourself and reach for the stars.” We can learn from the past and use our previous mistakes to move forwards. It may feel like you will never be given a second chance, but the future is uncertain, so you cannot assume your overthinking thoughts are reality. Moving forwards from a difficult situation is a second chance; you can take advantage of it and become a better you.
Within the chorus, Girl Pow-R sings, “All we gotta do is prove that we can do it (we can do it), ooh ooh ooh ooh,” reminding us that all you need is to take that leap of faith and chase after your dreams. Although your starting point seems so far from your destination, you can achieve anything if you continue to have that drive and motivation to conquer your goals. Don’t limit yourself and reach for the stars; the journey may be long and complex, but achieving your dreams is worth it, and when you stop and look at the progress you have made, you will feel so proud of yourself.
