    Ted Lasso, the titular character of the TV series “Ted Lasso,” is a model of blue sky optimism and positivity. His humor and lightheartedness diffuse tension and bring joy, but he’s far from a naive pollyanna. Even though he had plenty of reasons to despair, from his failing marriage to his losing team, he didn’t succumb to pessimism and remained filled with hope. His sunny disposition and can-do attitude inspire us to maintain a positive outlook and approach challenges with resilience and determination.

    “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.”

    “You say impossible, but all I hear is ‘I’m possible.’”

    “You beating yourself up is like Woody Allen playing the clarinet. I don’t wanna hear it.”

    “So I’ve been hearing this phrase y’all got over here that I ain’t too crazy about. ‘It’s the hope that kills you.’ Y’all know that? I disagree, you know? I think it’s the lack of hope that comes and gets you.”

    “Why don’t you take a picture, it’ll last longer.“ 

    “That’s my name, don’t wear it out!”

    “I’ve always felt like a kid, and I still feel like a kid, and I’ve never had any problem tapping into my childhood, and my kid side.”

    “Shhh! I’m listening to reason!”

    “I’m just trying to illustrate that it’s okay to be different — not that it’s good, not that it’s bad, but it’s all right. I’m trying to tell kids to have a good time and to encourage them to be creative and to question things.”
