Image
You make mistakes. Mistakes don't make you.
Maxwell Maltz

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.

Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Ignore past failures and forge ahead.

If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.
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.
