20 Friday Night Lights Quotes To Get You Through Life

Whether we’d like to admit or not, we all have that one television show or movie that has made a significant impact in our lives. It may be because it has made us laugh until we are on the floor crying, or because it has made us laugh and cry for all the right/wrong reasons, or because we have been able to relate to it and it has lifted us up during difficult times. I have watched several TV shows that have made an impact on my life but the most recent one was "Friday Night Lights." This was the show I binge watched this past Christmas break and to say that it changed me for the better, would be an understatement. Here are 20 "Friday Night Lights" quotes that will hopefully change you (for the better) as much as they did me.

Quit the pity party, get up and do something about it.

4. “Right now, right here, God has placed you to do what you do best. Go all the way.”- Coach Eric Taylor

7. “Tomorrow, if you give 100 percent of yourself tonight, people are going to look at you differently, people are going to think of you differently and I promise you, you’re gonna look and think differently about yourselves.”- Coach Eric Taylor

If you give something your all, you will come out of it a changed person. Keep in mind that change is good.

8. “You get one chance in life fellas. You can either take advantage of it, or you can piss it away.”- Coach Eric Taylor

One chance to make it or break it. Make it.



9. “You listen to people who love you, you listen to people whom you trust. Most of all, you listen to yourself.”- Coach Eric Taylor

The people who care about you will offer you advice and guidance and you will listen to them. However, always make sure to listen to what you need and make yourself a priority.

12. “This is our time. This is your time.”- Coach Eric Taylor

13. “It’s about character. It’s about striving to be better than everybody else…I said you needed to strive to be better than everyone else, I didn’t say you need to be better than everyone else, but you gotta try. That’s what character is. It’s in the trying.”- Coach Eric Taylor

Define your character and try.

To hell with playing it safe; take chances, beat the odds.



19. “There is not a person in this world who could do this except for you. This is what you do. I’ve seen you do it with my own eyes. I believe in you. I believe in you with every cell in my being.”- Coach Eric Taylor

Believe in yourself, because then others will too.



20. “Every man at some point is gonna lose a battle. He’s gonna fight and he’s gonna lose. But what makes him a man is that in the midst of the battle, he does not lose himself. This game is not over, this battle is not over.”- Coach Eric Taylor

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
