Image
It doesn't matter how many times you have failed.... What matters is the successful attempt.
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
Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you're stalled, “standing still”.
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
This is where you will win the battle - in the playhouse of your mind.
Maxwell Maltz

Image
Unthaw and become more natural.
Maxwell Maltz
Image

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
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
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
Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
You will act like the sort of person you conceive yourself to be.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Another cause of confusion, and the resulting feelings of nervousness, hurry, and anxiety, is the absurd habit of trying to do many things at one time.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognise your own worth.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Change your mental imagery, and the feelings will take care of themselves.
