Helen Keller’s Life Resolution

By Helen Keller

I HAVE, like other people, I suppose, made many resolutions that I have broken or only half kept; but the one which I send you, and which was in my mind long before it took the form of a resolution, is the key-note of my life. It is this — always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life almost at the beginning. I resolved that they should not crush nor dwarf my soul, but rather be made to “blossom, like Aaron’s rod, with flowers.”—Helen Keller.
