The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.

Helen Keller

Helen Keller was an amazing woman who has spoken many wise words.  The quote above is especially poignant given that she was blind and deaf.  What would be perceived by many as a barrier to living, however, there were no such limitations in Helen's mind or heart and she went on to achieve many great things in her life.

Speaking above about the splendours of life that we can enjoy, she shows that she was able to flourish in this world by having an open heart and welcoming all the experiences she encountered as opportunities to learn and grow.  If we all approached life in this way then we would no doubt find more magic in our lives every day. 

There must have been times when Helen felt fearful, she could not be human without doing so, but she would not have been such an amazing woman if she had given in to those fears.  We can all learn from Helen and address ours fears.  Each step we take in confronting or simply controlling a fear makes us more courageous in every aspect of our life.  That courage is especially important in the area of love, as we all know heart-break is one of the most difficult things to handle.  So to ask for love is to put yourself in a place of vulnerability and to sustain love, unconditional love, especially is to exhibit the greatest courage of all.
