More quotes by Maxwell Maltz
When you're not goal-striving, not looking forward, you're not really living.
Maxwell Maltz
To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.
Maxwell Maltz
Develop an enthusiasm for life, create a need for more life, and you will receive more life.
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
It doesn't matter how many times you have failed.... What matters is the successful attempt.
Maxwell Maltz
Worry is one of the most destructive scourges of mankind.
Maxwell Maltz
This is where you will win the battle - in the playhouse of your mind.
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
Live in the present. The past is gone the future is unknown - but the present is real, and your opportunities are now.
Maxwell Maltz
Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.
Maxwell Maltz
Your nervous system can't tell real failure from imagined failure.
Maxwell Maltz
Happiness isn't something that happens to you. It is what you yourself do and determine upon.
Maxwell Maltz
Why not imagine yourself successful?
Maxwell Maltz
Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk — and to act.
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
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
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
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
See yourself reacting to threats, not by running away or evading them, but by meeting them, dealing with them, grappling with them in an aggressive intelligent manner.
Maxwell Maltz
When you believe you can... you can!
Maxwell Maltz
