If you need a boost in your self-belief, just listen to Ted Lasso:
“Belief doesn’t just happen because you hang something on a wall.
It comes from in here [he points to his heart], and up here [his head] and down here [his gut].
The only problem is, we’ve all got so much junk floatin’ through us, a lot of times we end up gettin’ in our own way. Crap like envy, or fear, shame.
I don’t wanna mess around with that shit anymore, know what I mean? Do you?
You know what I wanna mess around with? The belief that I matter, regardless of what I do or don’t achieve. Or the belief that we all deserve to be loved, whether we’ve been hurt or maybe we hurt somebody else. Or what about the belief of hope? That’s what I want to mess with.Believing that things can get better — that I can get better. That we will get better.
You believe in yourself, you believe in one another — that’s fundamental to being alive.
If you can do that — if each of you can truly do that — can’t nobody rip that apart.”
