I think it helps to remember that you were a baby once. There was a day when you could do nothing on your own and the only way to support yourself was to cry for help from others. You were completely vulnerable and susceptible to all of the dangers around you. You had no way to protect yourself and virtually no way to impose your will. Every single part of your life relied on the grace of another. Every part of your consciousness was devoted to those who devoted themselves to you. And in those first few years, everything was true. The good times were good, the happy times were happy, the sad times were sad and the confusing times were confusing.
No matter how far you've come, how much pride you have, how confident you are in your own abilities, how independent you think you are now, always remember that you, too, were a baby once.
In many ways, we all still are.
