More quotes by Maxwell Maltz
Ignore past failures and forge ahead.
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
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively.
Maxwell Maltz
Develop an enthusiasm for life, create a need for more life, and you will receive more life.
Maxwell Maltz
To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.
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
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
The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognise your own worth.
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
This is where you will win the battle - in the playhouse of your mind.
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
When you believe you can... you can!
Maxwell Maltz
Worry is one of the most destructive scourges of mankind.
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
Functionally, a man is somewhat like a bicycle. A bicycle maintains its poise and equilibrium only so long as it's moving forward towards something.
Maxwell Maltz
Adopt the motto: It doesn't matter who's right, but what's right.
Maxwell Maltz
Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
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
It doesn't matter how many times you have failed.... What matters is the successful attempt.
Maxwell Maltz
