Image
Self-discipline is the golden key without it, you cannot be happy.
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
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
Image
Unthaw and become more natural.
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
This is where you will win the battle - in the playhouse of your mind.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
You make mistakes. Mistakes don't make you.
Maxwell Maltz
Image

Maxwell Maltz
Image
Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a ‘real’ experience.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
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
To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Times will change for the better when you change.
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
Happiness isn't something that happens to you. It is what you yourself do and determine upon.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Man maintains his balance, poise, and sense of security only as he is moving forward.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Study the situation thoroughly, go over in your imagination the various courses of action possible to you and the consequences which can and may follow from each course. Pick out the course which gives the most promise and go ahead.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
True success and true happiness not only go together but each other enhances the other.
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.'
