More quotes by Maxwell Maltz
Happiness isn't something that happens to you. It is what you yourself do and determine upon.
Maxwell Maltz
You will act like the sort of person you conceive yourself to be.
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
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
It is an old psychological axiom that constant exposure to the object of fear immunizes against the fear.
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
When a person has adequate self-esteem little slights offer no threat at all - they are simply passed over and ignored. Even deeper emotional wounds are likely to heal faster and cleaner, with no festering sores to poison life and spoil happiness.
Maxwell Maltz
This is where you will win the battle - in the playhouse of your mind.
Maxwell Maltz
A human being always acts and feels and performs in accordance with what he imagines to be true about himself and his environment.
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
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
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have not goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in a striving toward an important goal.
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
Worry is one of the most destructive scourges of mankind.
Maxwell Maltz
A healthy strong ego, with plenty of self-esteem, does not feel itself threatened by every innocent remark.
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
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
When you're not goal-striving, not looking forward, you're not really living.
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.
