More quotes by Maxwell Maltz
As soon as the error has been recognized and corrections made, it's equally important that the error be forgotten and the successful attempt remembered and dwelt upon.
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
Your nervous system can't tell real failure from imagined failure.
Maxwell Maltz
Do not say to yourself, 'I am going to act this way tomorrow.' Just say to yourself - 'I am going to imagine myself acting this way NOW - for 30 minutes - today.'
Maxwell Maltz
When you're not goal-striving, not looking forward, you're not really living.
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
Why not imagine yourself successful?
Maxwell Maltz
Begin to imagine what the desirable outcome would be like. Go over these mental pictures and delineate details and refinements. Play them over and over to yourself.
Maxwell Maltz
Of all the traps and pitfalls in life, self-disesteem is the deadliest, and the hardest to overcome: for it is a pit designed and dug by our own hands, summed up in the phrase, 'It's no use - I can't do it.'
Maxwell Maltz
This is where you will win the battle - in the playhouse of your mind.
Maxwell Maltz
Another cause of confusion, and the resulting feelings of nervousness, hurry, and anxiety, is the absurd habit of trying to do many things at one time.
Maxwell Maltz
Faith, courage, optimism, looking forward, bring us new life and more life. Futility, frustration, living in the past are not only characteristic of 'old age' they contribute to it.
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
True success and true happiness not only go together but each other enhances the other.
Maxwell Maltz
Self-discipline is the golden key without it, you cannot be happy.
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
Fully 95 percent of our behavior, feeling, and response is habitual.
Maxwell Maltz
We, whoever we are, must have a daily goal in our lives, no matter how small or great, to make that day mean something.
Maxwell Maltz
Worry is one of the most destructive scourges of mankind.
Maxwell Maltz
Ignore past failures and forge ahead.
