Image
Your nervous system can't tell real failure from imagined failure.
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
Self-improvement is the name of the game, and your primary objective is to strengthen yourself, not to destroy an opponent.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
Faith, courage, optimism, looking forward, bring us new life and more life. Futility, frustration, living in the past are not only characteristic of 'old age' they contribute to it.
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
The un-happiest of mortals is that man who insists upon reliving the past, over and over in imagination - continually criticizing himself for past mistakes - continually condemning himself for past sins.
