In other words, Rogers caught a glimpse of what his one thing might be and then made a significant adjustment to his career path in order to pursue it. Rogers wouldn’t launch the now-legendary Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood for another seventeen years after that seminal moment in front of his parents’ TV; but throughout those years, Rogers was continually tweaking the direction of his “guided drift” in pursuit of that single opportunity to best combine his passions and gifts in service to others. Then, once he found it, he chose to commit to it and spent decades mastering the art of educating young children in his Neighborhood.

During commencement speeches to college graduates, Rogers delighted in talking about his journey down the path to choosing and mastering his one thing. In one such speech, Rogers shared, “I’ll never forget the sense of wholeness I felt when I finally realized what in fact I really was: not just a writer or a language buff or a student of human development or a telecommunicator, but I was someone who could use every talent that had ever been given to me in the service of children and their families.”13

Once we’ve explored who we are—who God has made us to be and the work he has equipped us to do most exceptionally well—it is essential that we model Rogers’s extraordinary focus and intensity, choosing to go big on our one thing and committing to becoming masterful at it in service of God’s glory and the good of others.
