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.
6. It's always a good day when you're doing what you love.
7. What you have is just right.
8. You need bad days to appreciate the good.
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.
