If you have never watched the television show Ted Lasso, you should. Sure, its a show centered around a sport that I couldn’t possibly care less about, and yeah it is often unnecessarily profane, using the f-word as every conceivable part of speech in the English language. But the lead character is as pure of heart as anyone played on television since Sheriff Andy Taylor patrolled the streets of Mayberry. In a world that seems to worship the morally bankrupt, Coach Lasso walks into the room spreading the gospel of kindness and it feels like a miracle.
A friend of mine sent me what follows and it made my morning. I remember every one of these lines from the show and everyone of them are the unvarnished truth. You’re welcome.
Things I learned from Ted Lasso:
1. "Be curious, not judgmental"
2. "Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing."
3. "I have a really tricky time hearing folks that don’t believe in themselves."
4. “Change Isn’t About Trying To Be Perfect. Perfection Sucks. Perfect Is Boring.”
5. "You know what the happiest animal on Earth is? It's a goldfish. It has a 10-second memory. Be a goldfish."
6. "For me, success is not about the wins and losses. It's about helping these young fellas be the best versions of themselves on and off the field."
7. "I think that if you care about someone and you got a little love in your heart, there ain't nothing you can't get through together."
8. “I think that you might be so sure that you’re one in a million that sometimes you forget that out there, you’re just one of 11.”
9. "Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn't it? If you're comfortable while you're doing it, you're probably doing it wrong."
10. "I promise you there is something worse out there than being sad, and that's being alone and being sad. Ain't no one in this room alone."
