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.

True success and true happiness not only go together but each other enhances the other.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
One's capacity for friendship, which can be developed, is basic to one's capacity for happiness.

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.

Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you're stalled, “standing still”.
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.

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