More quotes by 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
Happiness isn't something that happens to you. It is what you yourself do and determine upon.
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
Ignore past failures and forge ahead.
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
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
Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today.
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
Develop an enthusiasm for life, create a need for more life, and you will receive more life.
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
Times will change for the better when you change.
Maxwell Maltz
Live in the present. The past is gone the future is unknown - but the present is real, and your opportunities are now.
Maxwell Maltz
It is an old psychological axiom that constant exposure to the object of fear immunizes against the fear.
Maxwell Maltz
Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
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
You make mistakes. Mistakes don't make you.
Maxwell Maltz
Worry is one of the most destructive scourges of mankind.
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
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
A healthy strong ego, with plenty of self-esteem, does not feel itself threatened by every innocent remark.
Maxwell Maltz
