Maxwell Maltz Mind Quotations

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.

I am a firm believer in 'negative thinking' when used correctly. We need to be AWARE of negatives so that we can steer clear of them. A golfer needs to know where the bunkers and sand traps are - but he doesn't think continuously about the bunker - where he doesn't want to go. His mind glances at the bunker, but he DWELLS upon the green.

This is where you will win the battle - in the playhouse of your mind.

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

It is no exaggeration to say that every human being is hypnotized to some extent either by ideas he has uncritically accepted from others or ideas he has repeated to himself or convinced himself are true. These negative ideas have exactly the same effect upon our behavior as the negative ideas implanted into the mind of a hypnotized subject by a professional hypnotist.
