More quotes by Maxwell Maltz
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
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
Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk — and to act.
Maxwell Maltz
Of all the traps and pitfalls in life, self-disesteem is the deadliest, and the hardest to overcome: for it is a pit designed and dug by our own hands, summed up in the phrase, 'It's no use - I can't do it.'
Maxwell Maltz
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
When a person has adequate self-esteem little slights offer no threat at all - they are simply passed over and ignored. Even deeper emotional wounds are likely to heal faster and cleaner, with no festering sores to poison life and spoil happiness.
Maxwell Maltz
Your present negative beliefs were formed by thought PLUS feelings. Generate enough emotion, or deep feeling and your new thoughts and ideas will cancel them out.
Maxwell Maltz
A healthy strong ego, with plenty of self-esteem, does not feel itself threatened by every innocent remark.
Maxwell Maltz
Mental pictures offer us an opportunity to practice new traits and attitudes, which otherwise we could not do. This is possible because again - your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an actual experience and one that is vividly imagined.
Maxwell Maltz
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
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
This is where you will win the battle - in the playhouse of your mind.
Maxwell Maltz
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
It doesn't matter how many times you have failed.... What matters is the successful attempt.
Maxwell Maltz
The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognise your own worth.
Maxwell Maltz
True success and true happiness not only go together but each other enhances the other.
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
A human being always acts and feels and performs in accordance with what he imagines to be true about himself and his environment.
Maxwell Maltz
Our self image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other.
Maxwell Maltz
Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.
