Image
Do not say to yourself, 'I am going to act this way tomorrow.' Just say to yourself - 'I am going to imagine myself acting this way NOW - for 30 minutes - today.'
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Study the situation thoroughly, go over in your imagination the various courses of action possible to you and the consequences which can and may follow from each course. Pick out the course which gives the most promise and go ahead.
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.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Admit your mistakes but don't cry over them. Correct them and go forward.
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
Image
Functionally, a man is somewhat like a bicycle. A bicycle maintains its poise and equilibrium only so long as it's moving forward towards something.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Change your mental imagery, and the feelings will take care of themselves.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
When you believe you can... you can!
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Happiness is native to the human mind and its physical machine. We think better, perform better, feel better, and are healthier when we are happy.
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
You make mistakes. Mistakes don't make you.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Self-discipline is the golden key without it, you cannot be happy.
