Watching your baby sister take her first steps changes what you think is a big deal.

Small children reset your sense of what counts as difficult. A toddler working out how to stand is doing something enormously hard with complete seriousness and no embarrassment, and watching it makes most of your daily emergencies look smaller. The comparison is not a scolding. It is just a different measuring stick.

Spend some real time this week with somebody much younger, a sibling, a cousin, a kid you coach or mind. Watch what they attempt without worrying about looking stupid. Borrow a little of that for whatever you have been putting off.
