More quotes by Maxwell Maltz
Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
Maxwell Maltz
You make mistakes. Mistakes don't make you.
Maxwell Maltz
As soon as the error has been recognized and corrections made, it's equally important that the error be forgotten and the successful attempt remembered and dwelt upon.
Maxwell Maltz
One's capacity for friendship, which can be developed, is basic to one's capacity for happiness.
Maxwell Maltz
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
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
Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment.
Maxwell Maltz

Maxwell Maltz
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
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
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
Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.
Maxwell Maltz
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
We simply must get it through our heads that holding a low opinion of ourselves is not a virtue, but a vice.
Maxwell Maltz
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively.
Maxwell Maltz
A human being always acts and feels and performs in accordance with what he imagines to be true about himself and his environment.
