More quotes by Maxwell Maltz
We are injured and hurt emotionally, Not so much by other people or what they say and don't say, But by our own attitude and our own response.
Maxwell Maltz
You are embarking on the greatest adventure of your life - to improve your self-image, to create more meaning in your life and in the lives of others. This is your responsibility.
Maxwell Maltz
Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you're stalled, “standing still”.
Maxwell Maltz
Adopt the motto: It doesn't matter who's right, but what's right.
Maxwell Maltz
Plan all you want for the future. Prepare for it. But don't worry about how you will react tomorrow, or even five minutes from now. Your creative mechanism will react appropriately in the 'now' if you pay attention to what is happening now.
Maxwell Maltz
Times will change for the better when you change.
Maxwell Maltz
Self-improvement is the name of the game, and your primary objective is to strengthen yourself, not to destroy an opponent.
Maxwell Maltz
Get into the habit of laughing too many of us have forgotten how to laugh. As people grow older, they sometimes forget that they ever laughed. It is a part of their childhood that they can no longer remember.
Maxwell Maltz
One's capacity for friendship, which can be developed, is basic to one's capacity for happiness.
Maxwell Maltz
Your present negative beliefs were formed by thought PLUS feelings. Generate enough emotion, or deep feeling and your new thoughts and ideas will cancel them out.
Maxwell Maltz
Science has now confirmed what philosophers, mystics, and other intuitive people have long declared: every human being has been literally engineered for success by his Creator. Every human being has access to a power greater than himself.
Maxwell Maltz
When you believe you can... you can!
Maxwell Maltz
Thus man of all creatures is more than a creature, he is also a creator. Man alone can direct his success mechanism by the use of imagination, or imaging ability.
Maxwell Maltz
Mental pictures offer us an opportunity to practice new traits and attitudes, which otherwise we could not do. This is possible because again - your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an actual experience and one that is vividly imagined.
Maxwell Maltz
If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.
Maxwell Maltz
Fully 95 percent of our behavior, feeling, and response is habitual.
Maxwell Maltz
Failure feelings - fear, anxiety, lack of self-confidence - do not spring from some heavenly oracle. They are not written in the stars. They are not holy gospel. Nor are they intimations of a set and decided fate which means that failure is decreed and decided. They originate from your own mind.
Maxwell Maltz
You can do only one thing at a time. I simply tackle one problem and concentrate all efforts on what I am doing at the moment.
Maxwell Maltz
People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Prescription: Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Decide what you want out of a situation. Always have something ahead of you to “look forward to” — to work for and hope for.
Maxwell Maltz
Worry is one of the most destructive scourges of mankind.
Maxwell Maltz
