20 Ted Lasso maxims (Lassoims?) that will destroy self doubt, eliminate negativity, flush out cynicism, delete inhumanity, and bring joy and delight to your heart & soul.
(minor spoilers possible)
A thread:
1/ BELIEVE
"I believe in believe." @TedLasso
Everything starts with believing. In yourself. In a new idea. In a changing path. In the possibility that the dream inside of you can become a reality.
2/ BE YOURSELF, FULLY!
@TheJamieTartt : “Coach, I’m me. Why would I want to be anything else?”
@tedlasso: “I’m not sure you realize how psychologically healthy that actually is.
3/ EMBRACE CHANGE
Life is not static. Yet we consistently attempt to hold on to perspectives, habits, relationships that are no longer working for us.
It's better to embrace change. And regularly update your mental and emotional operating systems.
4/ BE CURIOUS, NOT JUDGMENTAL
It's easy to judge. Yourself. Others. The world. But that doesn't land you anywhere.
Curiosity, on the other hand, fuels deep understanding, wise choices, and a fruitful existence.
5/ FOOTBALL IS LIFE
The whole of your life is right here, right now.
So give it your all.
Find the joy in this moment.
Milk it to the fullest. Like #DaniRojas
6/ GET COMFORTABLE WITH BEING UNCOMFORTABLE
"Taking on a challenge is like riding a horse. If you're comfortable, you're doing it wrong." @TedLasso
Nothing great, exciting, or truly meaningful happens in your comfort zone. If you're comfortable, you're not in the game.
7/ KNOW WHAT IS YOURS TO CONTROL, AND WHAT IS NOT
Problems erupt when you step out of your zone of control and into someone else's.
Focus on your zone.
Master that.
"It's how you react and interact with those things which you have no control over." @jasonsudeikis
8/ BE A GOLDFISH
“You know what the happiest animal on Earth is? It’s a goldfish. You know why? Got a ten-second memory. Be a goldfish, Sam.” @TedLasso to @TheSamObisanya
Life happens in the now. Don't be stuck in the events of last week, last year, or even five minutes ago.
9/ IT'S ABOUT PRACTICE
In sports - that's in the gym, on the court, or the field.
In life - that means relishing each day. Living each moment fully. Not postponing happiness for some future, hoped-for, peak moment.
10/ IGNORE THE PEOPLE SCREAMING 'WANKER'
People say terrible, mean, or hurtful things. That's a reflection of them. How they secretly feel about themselves.
It's got nothing to do with you.
Block. Ignore. Smile. Just get on with your own life.
11/ FAMILY IS NOT JUST BIOLOGICAL
Family is a feeling. Cherish it. Wherever you find it.
@AFCRichmond
12/ BOLSTER PEOPLE, AND ACCEPT THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE
"All people are different people." @TedLasso
Every person is brimming with unique potential. What they need is a little support. Someone who will recognize their greatness and open the door.
13/ BE A LIGHT
Wherever you go bring a little light.
Like @TheKeeleyJones.
Even if your own life's a bit crappy, you can still find the good in others. And shout it out!
14/ MAKE ROOM FOR OTHERS TO SHINE
Lift your teammates up. Figuratively. Literally. In every way.
15/ ALSO, BE A BOSS ASS BITCH
Don't be afraid of your own authentic power. Use it!
16/ REMEMBER, EVERYONE HAS A VULNERABLE SIDE
"Just because you're a strong person, physically and mentally, doesn't mean you haven't taken a battering elsewhere." @hanwaddingham
Be kind!
17/ DON'T SETTLE. EVER!!!
"You deserve someone who makes you feel like you've been struck by f--king lightening. Don't you dare settle for fine!!! - @TheRealRoyKent speaking to all of us.
18/ HAVE BISCUITS WITH THE BOSS, OR SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT
"Some people like to rise and grind, but I say rise and have a genuine conversation with someone you love." @TedLasso
So... who are those people that you love?
19/ HOPE AND EMPATHY ARE NEVER OUT OF STYLE...
"It's the currency that they are traded against. Shamelessness and ego, and the cocktail of ignorance and arrogance. Forgiveness. Kindness. Empathy. Love. Those are the true superpowers."
@jasonsudeikis
