Dr. Maxwell Maltz Quotes about Effort

  • Conscious effort inhibits and ‘jams’ the automatic creative mechanism.
  • When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative "success mechanism" within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by conscious effort or "willpower."
  • It is the job of conscious rational thought to decide what you want, select the goals you wish to achieve—and concentrate upon these rather than upon what you do not want. To spend time and effort concentrating upon what you do not want is not rational.
