If you've always done if for someone, they will come to expect it and never learn to do it themselves. Letting someone fail or succeed on their own, in order to learn, is not always a bad thing.
I need to remind myself of this periodically by taking a huge step back. And just observe. It's hard for me. I like to control situations - or at least steer them to succeed.

Geez, What's in Your Purse? It's so Heavy?
My purse took a field trip with my hubby in his car. I have no money - no cash, no credit cards...nothing. No phone, no sunglasses, no reading glasses, no office keys, no car key (but I have a back up), no lipstick, no comb, and no advil.
So picture this...
I'm squinting inside my office (our secretary let me in) while hunched over clutching my sore back trying to jimmy the lock on my desk open. I don't want to have to ask my coworkers for change to get a soda. I look like a just woke up. My hair is all windblown and I'm lipstickless.
Maybe someone will take pity on me and ask if I'd like something from the nearby gas station? Otherwise, I will need to stumble my way across the street, sans sunglasses, squinting from the glorious weather and kicking myself for allowing my purse go on her field trip without a permission slip.
Savor the details.
