Adult Lessons From Mr Rogers

Mr. Rogers was an icon for a lot of us. We all remember his songs, the sweater, and of course, all the lessons he taught us. While he taught us a lot of lessons on camera as children, there are a few lessons we can learn as adults from what transpired in his life off camera

The first is a lesson in following your purpose in life vs following your passion. Mr. Rogers had many passions, but one massive purpose which was to educate and care for children.

We’re taught to “follow your passion”, but as we can learn from Mr. Rogers, we serve our life purpose when we decide to follow what our purpose is in life, and if we’re lucky we can inject our passions into it like he did.

Another lesson is one in business. Today, we hardly see or hear of anything related to him anymore, and that’s because he had a few very specific rules about advertising and marketing. Unfortunately, these rules made it so that children growing up today will never grow up with the wonderful lessons he taught so many.

In this episode, I’m going to talk in depth about these 2 lessons. Why you need to follow your purpose as opposed to your passion, and the choice he made that is preventing children today from hearing his message.
