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.

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
The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognise your own worth.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Why not imagine yourself successful?
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
It doesn't matter how many times you have failed.... What matters is the successful attempt.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a ‘real’ experience.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
A healthy strong ego, with plenty of self-esteem, does not feel itself threatened by every innocent remark.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Adopt the motto: It doesn't matter who's right, but what's right.
