Believe: Positivity Changes Lives

One of the key messages of Ted Lasso’s philosophy is the power of positivity. He believes that staying upbeat and focusing on what you can control can make all the difference in achieving success. As he says, “It’s the happiest people who have the best chance of success.” Ted Lasso believes as well that focusing on what you can control can make all the difference in achieving success. It is difficult at times to remain positive throughout the day, due to both professional and personal situations that can encompass one’s mind and spirit. Learning how to healthfully remain positive is a key to emotional goodness.
