When you're not goal-striving, not looking forward, you're not really living.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
One's capacity for friendship, which can be developed, is basic to one's capacity for happiness.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Worry is one of the most destructive scourges of mankind.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Our self image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
You will act like the sort of person you conceive yourself to be.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-break on.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
We simply must get it through our heads that holding a low opinion of ourselves is not a virtue, but a vice.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
When we consciously and deliberately develop new and better habits, our self image tends to outgrow the old habits and grow into the new pattern.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Your nervous system can't tell real failure from imagined failure.
