Helen Keller
challenges and difficulties

Helen has difficulty asserting her will and desires directly and openly. She may also suppress her anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in herself are important tasks for Keller.

It may be difficult for Helen Keller to play spontaneously or just let her hair down, for she tends to inhibit that side of her by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression she is making.

Helen may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for she wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged, and recognized as special in some way. Though she may indeed be outstanding, Helen Keller also needs to learn to relax and enjoy herself more.

Quite reserved and somewhat inhibited in her relationships with others, Helen Keller may feel that she is better off by herself. Helen feels that she does not fit in very well with people and she finds team-work in groups or associations difficult to achieve.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Helen Keller instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Helen Keller needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Helen Keller has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that she is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Helen Keller needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

When under stress, she has a strong instinct to retreat back to the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, she may encourage others to depend on her emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Helen Keller needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

It is in her dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above are ones Helen Keller needs to integrate in tangible ways: how she makes a living, building assets and a secure material base, what she does with the resources she has. Helen Keller should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Helen Keller back, or which she is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

Being excessively egocentric or proud, needing personal recognition and applause, wanting to be center stage all the time, needing to be important and special.

The tendency for self-indulgence, laziness, and over-reliance on the generosity or affection of others, as well as making love relationships, social life and superficial pleasures more important than anything else in her life.

Helen Keller has a strong desire to break records and set an example for others through her own achievements. Helen tends to spur others on to improve results and her relationships with others is for the purpose of bettering conditions.
