If you've ever watched the TV show "Friday Night Lights" you know that Coach Eric Taylor and his wife, Tami Taylor, give some pretty great pep talks and life advice throughout the show, as well as the other characters. After five seasons of the show, QB changes, moving, falling in and out of love, there were many of life lessons learned. Just always remember: Texas Forever.
1. "Every man, at some point in his life, is going to lose a battle. He is going to fight and he is going to lose. But what makes him a man, is that in the midst of that battle, he does not lose himself." - Coach Eric Taylor
2. "You're gonna win or you're gonna lose. Either way, the sun is still gonna come up tomorrow morning." - Tami Taylor
Keep your head up. It's what Tami Taylor would tell you to do.
3. "You listen to people that love you and you listen to people that you trust. Most of all, you listen to yourself." - Coach Eric Taylor
Believe in yourself.
4. "Two years ago, I was afraid of wanting anything. I figured wanting would lead to trying, and trying would lead to failure. But now I find I can't stop wanting. I want to fly somewhere in first class. I wanna travel to Europe on a business trip. I wanna get invited to the White House. I wanna learn about the world. I wanna surprise myself. I wanna be important. I wanna be the best person I can be. I wanna define myself instead of having others define me. I wanna win and have people be happy for me. I wanna lose and get over it. I wanna not be afraid of the unknown. I wanna grow up to be generous and big hearted, the way that people have been with me. I want an interesting and surprising life. It's not that I think I'm gonna get all these things. I just want the possibility of getting them. College represents this possibility. The possibility that things are going to change. I can't wait." - Tyra
Dream big and go chase after it. Life is full of possibilities.
5. "You can't beat yourself up because you're taking chances on things. But don't start giving up on what you set forth to do in the beginning. 'Cause that's gonna get you nowhere. I can promise you that." - Coach Eric Taylor
Would Coach Taylor want you to give up? No. Don't give up.
6. "Women are to be respected." - Coach Eric Taylor
Preach, Coach!
7. "I'm a firm believer in 'You can do anything you put your mind to,' and yourself - you - I believe you can do anything you put your mind to." - Coach Eric Taylor
8. "If you really care about something you don't just give up. You do whatever it takes." - Landry
Never give up on something that you care about. You care about it for a reason.
9. "There's no weakness in forgiveness." - Tami Taylor
10. "All I wanted to do was come home." - Tim Riggins
11. "A few will never give up on you. When you go back out on the field, those are the people I want in your minds. Those are the people I want in your hearts." - Coach Eric Taylor
12. "I said you need to strive to be better, I didn't say you needed to be better than everyone else. But you've gotta try. That's what character is. It's in the trying." - Coach Eric Taylor
Be your best self. Always.
