VIDEO: STAYING CONSISTENT


VIDEO: STAYING CONSISTENT


Print

Nearly every day for thirty-five years, Mr. Rogers took off his sport coat and
replaced it with a sweater. He sang a song and invited his audience to be his
neighbor. He drew some, and learned some, and watched young people practice
their talents. And at the end of every episode, he told his audience that he
likes them just the way they are, and that he’ll see them next time.

Whenever he was asked about why it was important for him to perform these
rituals, he explained that so many people lived in homes with no consistency. As
a consequence, these people lived lives that often felt chaotic or frightening,
and they often had trouble developing trust and dealing with change.

Trust in Our Values
Values can often be difficult to convey because they can vary between people.
Even though most of us likely value the same basic things, we might find
differences in our specific definitions of things like the following:

 * fairness
 * generosity
 * open communication
 * trust

But by being consistent in our approach to other people, we show them how we
define our values, and in turn how we would like to be treated. It also sends a
signal to those around us that they can trust our values. It’s important in both
our personal and professional lives, because it sends a signal that we’re
confident in who we are.

"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news,my mother would say
to me, 'Look for the helpers.You will always find people who are helping.' "—Mr.
Rogers


Looking for the Helpers
Of course, there are times when things do seem to be changing more quickly than
we’re ready for, or when things feel chaotic. Over the years, Mr. Rogers was
frequently asked about how to deal with these situations, and he, with his
characteristic consistency, gave the same advice: look for the helpers.

In times of chaos, the helpers are the ones who are staying consistent. They’re
the ones who are staying busy solving problems, instead of losing themselves in
the uncertainty around them. These are the people who will often help to remind
us that things around us are likely to return to normal one day.

Watch: Fred Rogers turned out to be one of the helpers himself. His regular
practice of inclusion spanned decades and challenged racism, sexism,
stereotyping, and more. In this video, Francois Clemmons, who played Officer
Clemmons on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood for more than thirty years, describes
how he was initially reluctant to take the role, but ultimately how it had a
positive impact on his life.

Take Away: Each of us has the potential to become a helper for a neighbor in
need; by being consistent in our values, inviting inclusivity, and making good
choices, we’ll have practiced being an anchor for those around us.
