Caroline speaks about the power of belief. Being legally blind from birth her parents decided not to tell her of this physical limitiation. At 17 while at the eye doctor with her younger sister she finally learns the truth. Listen to her story about taking lifes challenges in sighted world which she managed to excel in for another 10 years before finally admitting her limitations and then moving onto the next phase of her life. My question then is “Self Esteem not about Belief”?

In Caroline’s own words: 

And I have learned, you know what, cars and motorbikes and elephants, that’s not freedom. Being absolutely true to yourself, is freedom. And I never needed eyes to see — never. I simply needed vision and belief. And if you truly believe — and I mean believe from the bottom of your heart — you can make change happen. And we need to make it happen, because every single one of us — woman, man, gay, straight, disabled, perfect, normal, whatever — everyone of us must be the very best of ourselves. I no longer want anybody to be invisible. We all have to be included. And stop with the labels, the limiting — losing of labels. Because we are not jam jars; we are extraordinary, different, wonderful people.
