You will act like the sort of person you conceive yourself to be.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Another cause of confusion, and the resulting feelings of nervousness, hurry, and anxiety, is the absurd habit of trying to do many things at one time.
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
Man maintains his balance, poise, and sense of security only as he is moving forward.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
Image
When you're not goal-striving, not looking forward, you're not really living.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively.
