Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment.
Maxwell Maltz

Maxwell Maltz
Image
Happiness isn't something that happens to you. It is what you yourself do and determine upon.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Self-discipline is the golden key without it, you cannot be happy.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
True success and true happiness not only go together but each other enhances the other.
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
