Adopt the motto: It doesn't matter who's right, but what's right.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Begin to imagine what the desirable outcome would be like. Go over these mental pictures and delineate details and refinements. Play them over and over to yourself.

Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
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
Image
Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you're stalled, “standing still”.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
Self-discipline is the golden key without it, you cannot be happy.
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.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
True success and true happiness not only go together but each other enhances the other.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Change your mental imagery, and the feelings will take care of themselves.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
When we consciously and deliberately develop new and better habits, our self image tends to outgrow the old habits and grow into the new pattern.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Prescription: Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Decide what you want out of a situation. Always have something ahead of you to “look forward to” — to work for and hope for.
Maxwell Maltz

Our self image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other.
