Bob Ross, the painting guru and host of "The Joy of Painting,"was probably one of the most mesmerizing people to exist. Watching him paint and listening to him talk might be better than therapy. He made painting look like it was a walk in the park and everything he says makes you feel like you're the best thing in the world. While Bob Ross was painting, he always had a way of dropping some serious zen into your life that made you feel like everything is in harmony. Bob Ross is just good for the heart. Here are some of the things he has said.

1. You can do anything.

If you paint with Bob Ross, you will definitely believe you'll be able to be the next Picasso. Hell, you'd probably think you can conquer the world after watching him.

2. There are no mistakes, just lessons.

I like this idea. Every mistake you make isn't a disaster, it's just a chance to learn a lesson and do better next time. I say we replace "mistake" in the dictionary with "happy accident."

3. Talent takes practice.

Even if you don't think you have an ounce of talent in your body, you can gain talent if you work hard enough.

4. It's OK to follow your own path.

The straight and narrow path isn't for everyone. You can walk a wavy path through life if you want to. Just do you and do whatever makes you happy.

5. Beauty is all around you.

It's easy to be cynical about life. You might hate your job or you may be feeling a little blue, but it's important to remember that there is beauty all around you if you look for it.


6. It's always a good day when you're doing what you love.

If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.


7. What you have is just right.

However you want your life to be is just right; there's no reason to second guess it.


8. You need bad days to appreciate the good.

You can't appreciate the sun without the rain. You'll have some bad days in life that will just make you appreciate the good ones more.

9. Don't hold onto things.

It's not healthy to hold onto things. Let it go and be free.

10. Surround yourself with things that make you happy.

Life is better with things that make you happy.

11. Go out and do big things in the world.

Go into the world and make some big decisions. With Bob Ross's wisdom you can do anything!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
