As Dr Maltz explains, building strong self esteem is vital for achieving your goals as you need to develop a self image that you consider matches the goal that you've set. For example, if your goal is to build a web site like this one, you need to see yourself as the type of person who succeeds in building a web site.

QUOTES FROM DR MAXWELL MALTZ
(From Psychocybernetics)

"Self esteem is as necessary to the spirit as food is to the body."

"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."

"Of all the traps and pitfalls in life, self-disesteem is the deadliest, and the hardest to overcome: for it is a pit designed and dug by our own hands, summed up in the phrase, 'It's no use - I can't do it.'"

"We simply must get it through our heads that holding a low opinion of ourselves is not a virtue, but a vice."

"But the biggest secret of self esteem is this: begin to appreciate other people more; show respect for any human being merely because he is a child of God and therefore a 'thing of value'."

"Real self esteem is not derived from the great things you've done, the things you own, the mark you've made, but from an appreciation of yourself for what you are."
