The Science of Success - Julia Seton - Bog

THE building of a beautiful perfected selfhood is the work of every life; no matter what he does, whether we call it good, bad or indifferent, it is all directed towards this purpose. Every inaction or action pushes them on into finer selection of material which will serve to perfect themselves. Everything which one contacts becomes legitimate material from which he can select or reject. There is nothing which can be eternally rejected, whatever is passed up at any place in our unfoldment becomes material to use at another place on the path. There is only one substance and man, the master builder, can insert just what he sees fit at any place in the construction of his plan. In this building man has decided that he must select so that the results of his selection will be continuous and whatever takes on permanency he has called success, and whatever takes on the expression of change he has called failure; throughout the old civilization he has lost the recognition of the truth that failure is only one part of the great law of success and is success manifesting negatively.
