Our self image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
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
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
Get into the habit of laughing too many of us have forgotten how to laugh. As people grow older, they sometimes forget that they ever laughed. It is a part of their childhood that they can no longer remember.

Maxwell Maltz
Image
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively.
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
You can do only one thing at a time. I simply tackle one problem and concentrate all efforts on what I am doing at the moment.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognise your own worth.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
The un-happiest of mortals is that man who insists upon reliving the past, over and over in imagination - continually criticizing himself for past mistakes - continually condemning himself for past sins.
