Happiness is simply a state of mind in which our thinking is pleasant a good share of the time.

Maxwell Maltz

Happiness is the art of relaxation.

Maxwell Maltz

Happiness isn’t something that happens to you. It is what you yourself do and determine upon.

I may be a mistake maker, but I’m also a mistake breaker.

Maxwell Maltz

Loneliness is caused by an alienation from life. It is a loneliness from your real self.

Maxwell Maltz

Man maintains his balance, poise, and sense of security only as he is moving forward.

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

People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to look forward to.

Maxwell Maltz

Plan all you want for the future. Prepare for it. But don’t worry about how you will react tomorrow, or even five minutes from now. Your creative mechanism will react appropriately in the ‘now’ if you pay attention to what is happening now.

Maxwell Maltz

See yourself reacting to threats, not by running away or evading them, but by meeting them, dealing with them, grappling with them in an aggressive and intelligent manner.
