More quotes by 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.

You make mistakes. Mistakes don't make you.

Why not imagine yourself successful?
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Unthaw and become more natural.
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.

Image
Your nervous system can't tell real failure from imagined failure.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Our self image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other.

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
Develop an enthusiasm for life, create a need for more life, and you will receive more life.
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
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
Image
Worry is one of the most destructive scourges of mankind.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
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
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.

Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a ‘real’ experience.
