Helen Keller via Maria Popova On Happiness

I’ve been spending a great deal of time on Maria Popova’s fantastic and thoroughly well-researched blog Brain Pickings.

What’s Brain Pickings you ask? According to the About section: “Brain Pickings is a human-powered discovery engine for interestingness, a subjective lens on what matters in the world and why, bringing you things you didn’t know you were interested in — until you are.”

Doesn’t that description just make you smile? Me too. Want to smile s’more? Read her recent post on Hellen Keller’s powerful perspective on optimism.  Here’s an awesome excerpt from Keller via Popova:

“Doubt and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend.”

This purpose of this blog is to create that very space for your large mind. Let’s transcend together, shall we?
