*** In the SeriesFinale "''Apocalypse''", Arbiter's final conversation with [[spoiler:Eugene's Hallucination]] winds up being this:
---->'''ARBITER:''' Finally got what you wanted.\\

'''EUGENE:''' The other guy you've been seeing, wasn't me. He was your guilt. I'm the real deal, partially. I'm the friend you saw when you first met me. I was always in there somewhere, buried under a lot of shit. But I was there.\\

'''EUGENE:''' Dude, [[spoiler:you got blown up, just talked to Jon, put back on the ship with all the butt-raping aliens]], the rules are obviously out-the-window at this point. You heard Jon: You made a lot of people happy, all over the world. How many people get that far? Wish they could? And think of the good they could all do as a result? And the good as a result of that? Ripples through time. And at the end of it all, you'll have had a part in the creation of something so wonderful, beyond comprehention. Guess what? That means something. Your life, has meaning.

* In the Season 7 episode of ''WebVideo/ArbyNTheChief'' entitled "''Greenlit''", there's this exchange between [[JerkAss Master Chief]] and [[spoiler:a Hallucination of Cortana]].

* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'', when Shifu realizes the way to train Po, he all but says "You have had the potential all along and you ''will'' become better than you think you are."

For the opposite, see HeelRealization or ThenLetMeBeEvil, though these alternatives may be reversed by helping the victim over their guilt to facilitate a HeelFaceTurn. When a character has to be constantly reminded of this, they usually suffer from HeroicSelfDeprecation. Compare YouAreNotAlone, LifeSavingEncouragement, RousingSpeech.

* Done in the most BrennanLeeMulligan way possible near the end of the first season of Dimension20 where the school guidance councillor delivers this message to Adaine by way of a tortured metaphor regarding a homeless man with warts on his genitals and fellatio. She does eventually get the message.

** Creator/NeilGaiman famously tells the story of meeting another Neil at a convention for people who had done assorted awesome stuff. Neil was feeling like quite the impostor when the other Neil mentioned that he felt like an impostor since he never really did anything special. Gaiman was shocked because he looked up to Neil #2, ''the first human being to set foot on the Moon.'' Neil Armstrong downplayed his achievement as no big deal.

'''Greg:''' I just thought it would be great--\\
'''Nish:''' You're doing well in this one!\\
'''Greg:''' Yeah but I thought it'd be really impressive if I did a whole Sudoku--\\
'''Nish:''' Yeah, but we checked it: you weren't even doing the Sudoku properly. Just pull yourself up by the bootstraps, really have a go at the show. You're not a bad guy, Nish.\\

* A core tenet of UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}} is that there is no sin so terrible that God will cease to love you. Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son likens this to a son who leaves home with his inheritance prior to his father's death and squanders half the family fortune. When he hits rock bottom, he returns and begs for his father's forgiveness. His father is so overjoyed just to have the wayward son back home, he throws a massive welcome home party.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': In "A Much Needed Talk," Blake, believing that she betrayed her family by leaving them to follow the White Fang's new leader, no longer considers herself worthy of their love. Her father tells her that her eventually leaving and setting herself back onto the right path proves she is a far stronger person than most people ever manage.

* When a major WhamEpisode of ''Webcomic/{{Rain}}'' hit a little too close to home for some people, [[Creator/JocelynSamara the author]] wrote an apology on her Website/DeviantArt journal, assuring the readers that Rain will make it through this.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':

** In the famous "Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot", a RetGone Supergirl reminds ComicBook/{{Deadman}} that he doesn't need the glory of superheroing -- he does it because it's the right thing to do.

* In ''WesternAnimation/Luck2022'', [[spoiler: Sam goes through a [[HeroicBsoD Heroic BsoD]] when her attempt at only sending good luck to the Human World caused the bad luck pump to explode, which sent only bad luck to the Randomizer and caused it to shut down. This also meant that Hazel doesn't have a chance to get adopted. Bob manages to get Sam out of it with this kind of speech. He tells her that even though she has bad luck, she's a good person because she's selfless, wants good things for others, and that Hazel is the luckiest girl in the world because she has Sam as her friend.]]

* ''Literature/WarriorCats'': As [[spoiler: Yellowfang]] is dying, she says that she fears [=StarClan=] will not judge due to [[spoiler:having kits despite being a medicine cat]] and feels she deserves it, and that she doesn't deserve [[spoiler: to have a cat like Fireheart as her adopted son]]. Fireheart reminds her of all of the good things she did and how good of a cat she is, but she dies before he can finish speaking.

See DontSaySuchStupidThings for a [[{{Tsundere}} rougher]] version, and for the inverse, see TheReasonYouSuckSpeech (which is usually directed at a SmallNameBigEgo). This is also a sort-of inversion of the DeclarationOfPersonalIndependence, in which the character assures others that they are strong. May overlap with ReformationAcknowledgment.
