Why not imagine yourself successful?
Maxwell Maltz

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
Image
Our self image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Adopt the motto: It doesn't matter who's right, but what's right.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.
Maxwell Maltz

Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a ‘real’ experience.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively.
