More quotes by Maxwell Maltz
When a person has adequate self-esteem little slights offer no threat at all - they are simply passed over and ignored. Even deeper emotional wounds are likely to heal faster and cleaner, with no festering sores to poison life and spoil happiness.
Maxwell Maltz
Why not imagine yourself successful?
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
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
Your nervous system can't tell real failure from imagined failure.
Maxwell Maltz
This is where you will win the battle - in the playhouse of your mind.
Maxwell Maltz
Happiness is native to the human mind and its physical machine. We think better, perform better, feel better, and are healthier when we are happy.
Maxwell Maltz
If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.
Maxwell Maltz
We are injured and hurt emotionally, Not so much by other people or what they say and don't say, But by our own attitude and our own response.
Maxwell Maltz
Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today.
Maxwell Maltz
Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you're stalled, “standing still”.
Maxwell Maltz
To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.
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
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
Science has now confirmed what philosophers, mystics, and other intuitive people have long declared: every human being has been literally engineered for success by his Creator. Every human being has access to a power greater than himself.
Maxwell Maltz
Fully 95 percent of our behavior, feeling, and response is habitual.
Maxwell Maltz
Self-improvement is the name of the game, and your primary objective is to strengthen yourself, not to destroy an opponent.
Maxwell Maltz
Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
Maxwell Maltz
Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a ‘real’ experience.
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
