LISTEN TO LESSON 8 (SEMESTER TWO)
YOU MAY LIVE IN AN IMPERFECT WORLD BUT THE FRONTIERS ARE NOT CLOSED AND THE DOORS ARE NOT SHUT
5 STEPS TO MOVE TOWARD OPPORTUNITY
- Keep an eye on the red light: keep an eye on things that become a red light and stop you from seeing opportunities or seizing opportunities. What is the reason I am stopping is it because I don’t feel confident or not worthy?
- Live in the present: the past is gone, the future is unknown, the present is real, and your opportunities are now. You may miss these opportunities looking back – be present today.
- Stop belittling yourself: accept yourself as you are and who you are. Be the best YOU that you can be.
- Set constructive goals: be purposeful and working towards opportunities.
- Stand up to crisis: don’t let them through you off course. Turn a crisis into an opportunity. Keep a good opinion of yourself.
TODAY’S INSTRUCTOR: DR. MAXWELL MALTZ
March 10, 1899 –April 7, 1975 an American cosmetic surgeon and author of Psycho-Cybernetics, which was a system of ideas that he claimed could improve one’s self-image leading to a more successful and fulfilling life.
Dr. Maxwell Maltz created his self-improvement phenomenon, Psycho-Cybernetics, at age 61, to an already varied, colorful and exceptionally successful career.
For many years, Dr. Maltz had a flourishing practice as a reconstructive and cosmetic facial surgeon. Later still he lectured internationally on his medical specialty, and pursued a dual career as a prolific author.
Dr. Maltz was inspired to move from treating “outer scars” to “inner scars” after seeing many patients’ continuing to have feelings of unhappiness, unworthiness as well as personal insecurities that were not cured from surgery, even though they and Dr. Maltz believed they would feel happy when he gave them the perfect new faces they desired.
Dr. Maltz first wrote of this discovery in his book New Faces, New Futures. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Maltz suggested that many people “see themselves” inaccurately, their perceptions distorted by unchallenged and often erroneous beliefs imbedded in their subconscious mind. After a decade of counseling hundreds of patients, extensive research on everything from German missile guidance technology (then more advanced than our own) to hypnosis, and testing his evolving “success conditioning techniques” on athletes and salespeople, Dr. Maltz published his findings, in 1960, in the original Psycho-Cybernetics book.
Psycho-Cybernetics became an instant bestseller and made Dr. Maltz one of the most in-demand motivational speakers throughout the 1960’s and the early 1970’s. Dr. Maltz went on to amass a wealth of “case history” material, seminars, workshops, radio broadcasts, over a dozen books all applying Psycho-Cybernetics to different purposes, from business success to athletic achievement to sex life improvement.
Maxwell Maltz passed away at age 76, but his legacy LIVES on through the instruction and teachings of Matt Furey, President of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, Inc.
