133- Being Curious

Ted Lasso, a TV show on Apple TV, is an example of how curiosity over judgment wins every time.  If I’m feeling judgy-judgy I can ask myself, what would Ted Lasso do?

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and back to the show Ted Lasso, which I am obsessed with, there is a theme that is so in your face, bring shining lights, that as humans, if we can be curious instead of judgmental perhaps we can create a different life for ourselves, and others.  

 

I find this fascinating, because I am the first one to raise my hand and say that I can be judgemental.  If I said anything else, you would think I was lying.  We’re all a little judgemental at times, right?  Some times more than others, some things are hard and fast personal beliefs and the other side of the coin is all kinds of judgement.  I get it.  I live in the US where this seems to be our go-to culture.  

 

So I wonder, is Ted Lasso trying to change this?  Is this TV show, in some small way, reminding people that curiosity almost always wins over judgement.  Of course, it doesn’t mean we have to agree.  Ted doesn’t always agree.  But he is always curious.  And that I find incredibly endearing.  

 

If I’m feeling judgy-judgy I can ask myself, what would Ted Lasso do?  How cool is that, that we were given a character that reminds us of curiosity and human decency.  Oh gosh, I hope Ted Lasso never changes.  The TV show is not over, but for now, I’m inspired to ask What would Ted Lasso do?
