Motivational Monday
🕑 Added 2022-04-25 12:21:37 +0000 UTCSometimes I think about the speech Mr. Rogers gave to Congress when he was trying to get funding for his show to stay on the air. It’s just a very sweet moment where someone fights very hard to advocate for children in a time when kids were to be seen and not heard. It’s not even that he gave a voice to the voiceless, but rather that he simply listened to those who were told what they said didn’t matter or that it was silly or frivolous. It’s really easy to speak for others and often we think we’re helping. But truly the best thing we can do is just quiet ourselves long enough to listen.
“You've made this day a special day, by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you, and I like you, just the way you are.”

So true. I think that when you listen often times you’re moved to change and people know that change is hard and it’s uncomfortable so they choose not to listen so they won’t be moved to change.

Mr. Rogers was one of my favorite shows. It usually went Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, then The Electric Company (with Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman). HEY YOU GUUUUUUYS!!!!!

Yes listening is the key but so many folks out there won't listen.

I think really listening with patience and respect is a sincere showing of love and friendship. Remember 1 mouth but 2 ears. 👄👂👂use accordingly!

Very true. I barely watched Mr. Rogers but I used to watch Tio Nobel and Pacheco in Puerto Rico. Two shows that helped learn so much. You are an inspiration and I appreciate your posts.
