Getting to see things from another perspective helps you realize your own limits in vision.
Today I got to take one of my boys with me into LA. We had some work to do, a few meetings, and then a chance to play. He'd been there before. But it became a playground to him.
LA is an amazing place and he was filled with wonder. And most people get blind to it all.
It reminded me back when I first moved to DC. I looked at the Capitol Building and realized that is the seat of power for the world. Most people scuttle by it without much regard. I made myself a promise at that point.
"The second I walk by this building and am not in awe is the second I need to leave because I've become too jaded."
That day never came for me. And I try not to let it happen anywhere I go.
