Forging the Positive Attitude with Ryan Lowe - a podcast by Jessica Sun

We all know that our attitude and our perspective is what matters, not simply what happens in our lives. Here is your playbook to take steps toward having a more positive and optimistic mindset.

Ryan is a motivational keynote speaker, coach & author of Get Off Your Attitude. He has experienced overcoming terminal illness, being shot, losing a business, being foreclosed on, and having to rebuild his personal and professional life from the bottom up.

Quotes to remember: 

“We have a choice to be happy. We have a choice no matter what’s going on around us.”

“How are you responding to your own negativity?”

Takeaways:

• Our attitude is based on where we get information and what our daily habits are
• Change starts with taking it day by day
• Fear of the unknown stops us from taking action and forming new habits
• One sentence in a book can change your life
• There is a ping-pong match in our minds between negative and positive 
• No matter what the circumstances in our life, we can respond with a positive attitude
• We tend to look for happiness in the wrong things
• It is our second thought that counts
• So often we forget that where we are now is where we dreamed of being five or ten years ago
• You can always find something good in the bad; likewise, you can always find something bad in the good
• Look at yourself as a lifelong learning project; “if you’re ripe you’re rotting, if you’re green you’re growing”
