2015 is coming to a close. It's time to end it off strong and start 2016 with a burning ambition. Let's remember this year and all we have learned from it. Let's take from it and not create a "new me," but a "better me." Here are 15 quotes to help accomplish this goal.

Make this coming year the best year yet. Put in that effort and be the best you that you can be! You've got this!
