I listened to an interview the other day with actor Jason Sudeikis in which he spoke about his time playing Ted Lasso on the Apple TV+ show by the same name (which sadly aired its final episode last week). Sudeikis said it was 100 percent intentional to make Ted Lasso a character who was kind, didn’t swear, and didn’t respond to people’s negativity and sarcasm. I’ve loved this show for a lot of reasons, but one of the main ones is because of how inspiring this character, and thus the show, have been.

We can all strive to live a life of intention. Like Lasso, we can all aim to be kind-hearted and not respond to negativity. We can also strive to be intentional in our work, in our personal lives, and with what we put out on social media. We can be intentional with our words, our behavior, and with how we vote and we move through this world.
