Image
We, whoever we are, must have a daily goal in our lives, no matter how small or great, to make that day mean something.
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.

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
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
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
A human being always acts and feels and performs in accordance with what he imagines to be true about himself and his environment.

Unthaw and become more natural.

Worry is one of the most destructive scourges of mankind.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
You make mistakes. Mistakes don't make you.

Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a ‘real’ experience.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Develop an enthusiasm for life, create a need for more life, and you will receive more life.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
It is an old psychological axiom that constant exposure to the object of fear immunizes against the fear.
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
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.
