Success - Overcoming Bodily Conditions Which Seem Impossible of Change

Conditions differ from circumstances. Circumstances are changeable
conditions which merely "stand around about you," and, of them, have
no stability. They are created by man, and can be overcome by man.

But, differing from circumstances, there are certain conditions which
seem to be so "fixed" that they obstruct your progress toward success.
They are of two kinds: undesirable facial features, and malformations
of the body. They are often so fixed that it seems impossible to
change them.

Yet, the limitations of all such conditions can be overcome! It has
been done hundreds of times, and that which has been done, can be
done!

Of course, you cannot change your height from four feet eight inches
to six feet two inches, but in all dealings with others, you can
overcome the limitations which you think are due to a stature of four
feet eight inches! You can carry yourself in such a way that others
will think of you as a king. Napoleon, though short of stature, made
himself the commanding figure among all classes and manner of men,
merely by the way he carried himself. He did not increase his stature,
but he overcame its limitations.

Whether or not you succeed in overcoming conditions, which it seems
impossible for you to change, depends on your vision of the powers of
your soul, on your faith in its possibilities, and on your use of
expression as the means of overcoming the limitations. If your ideal
of the possibilities and powers of your real self is limited, then you
hinder yourself in climbing out from under the conditions. But, if you
realize that your soul is infinite, and that its possibilities of
expression are limitless; then, no matter what the partial
manifestation, no matter what the restricting condition, no matter
what the limitation-you can climb out from under it, by changing your
expression!

In essence, your soul is perfect-embracing all possibilities and all
powers.

In manifestation, you limit yourself by limiting your expression.

You can change your expression!

You can change your body!

But, to change the bodily form, you must change its expression first!

If you are locked in a room, with the key on the inside of the door,
on your side, you will fail to get out-no matter how much you butt
your head against the door-unless you first turn the key to unlock the
door.

But, it is easy to succeed in getting out of the room, if you turn the
key in the lock first, and then open the door.

If you have failed to climb out from under the limitations of bodily
conditions, it is because you have been attempting to batter down the
form of the limitations without first changing its expression. To
succeed means "to climb out from under." It does not mean to batter
down, to smash, or to '' reduce to nothingness.''

You can always change the expression of any form of life.

And, changing its expression will change its form.

Soul expression is soul-in-action.

Activity comes first!

Every soul loves the beauty of activity more than it loves beauty of
form; for, in active expression, there is a beauty which has a greater
and stronger appeal than the beauty of form.

Do you not prefer the living, romping, active, companionable dog-even
though he may not be perfect in form-to the most perfect clay model of
a dog any artist ever designed?

As a mother, do you not prefer the active, living child-even if its
nose is not perfect- to the most beautifully formed and perfectly
featured doll in the world?

And, young man, do you not prefer the living, loving, joyously
expressive maid, to the perfect wax figure in the department store
window?

It is beauty of expression which we most love! It is beauty of
expression which attracts others most!
