Mr. Rogers — My Hero.

Fred Rogers is my hero.  If you grew up in this country, there was probably a time when he was your hero too!

When he decided to become Mr. Rogers on t.v. I can imagine that it was a bit risky.  I mean, who would have thought that doing this little show for kids on PBS would make him an American icon.  He was probably laughed at.  Heck, I probably laughed at him.  It took courage for him to do this work, but it was what he loved.  He WAS Mr. Rogers because he was Mr. Rogers.

Here’s a video of him from when he finished his career on Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. It’s touching.

Mr. Rogers is my hero because he did what he loved all of his life.

Mr. Rogers is my hero because he encouraged us to do what we love.

How about you?  Are you willing to take a risk and become who YOU really are?  Are you ready to live you life’s passion? What are you waiting for?
