My wife says having my baby picture helps her see me as a work in progress, and helps her love me more.
I agree.
Having trouble with a co-worker? A boss? A spouse? A baby picture might be just the thing to get you through it.
I notice how I often fuel the fire of people problems by the wrong ways I see people. I run into trouble with a co-worker and characterize them as a problem, instead of as a person with a problem. In that moment, I forget who they really are. I diminish their humanity in my mind.
When I see people as problems, or nuisances, instead of as people of equal value and needs as myself, I actually create a problem on top of the problem. Now the problem is harder to solve, because there are two problems, not one.
This is where the baby picture helps. It sometimes prevents us from adding perception problems to people problems.
