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
Self-improvement is the name of the game, and your primary objective is to strengthen yourself, not to destroy an opponent.

Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
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
The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognise your own worth.
Maxwell Maltz

Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment.
Maxwell Maltz

Maxwell Maltz
Image
You will act like the sort of person you conceive yourself to be.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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
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
Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a ‘real’ experience.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
It is an old psychological axiom that constant exposure to the object of fear immunizes against the fear.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
When you believe you can... you can!
Maxwell Maltz
Image
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.
