It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; to put it simply, 2018 was an interesting year. However, as 2018 comes to a close, everyone begins to reflect on the areas in life that they want to change and begin creating the ever so famous new year's resolution list.
However, the thing about new year's resolutions is that people only care about them for about the first three weeks of the year. So today I propose a way to inspire you to not only make some awesome goals for 2019 but to also have a way to remember your goals throughout the year. And who is the best figure to use to help us remember our goals?
Well, Bob Ross, of course! Here you will find 19 Bob Ross quotes to help you ring in the new year with a fresh mind, a new outlook!
1. Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.
As 2019 begins, remember to make your goals things that are of interest to you. Mr. Ross knows a little something about this. In fact, he never knew he had a knack for painting until he pursued it.
2. There is nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend.
GiphyAs we end 2018, our environment is not exactly where we need it to be. So maybe for 2019, befriend a tree and become a little bit of a tree hugger to help our good ol' mother Earth.
3. The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do.
Like Bob said, have faith in yourself that you can accomplish your goals this coming year. It does not matter how long it takes you to reach your goal, just don't stop believing.
