“Do you use others as an excuse to keep your pain alive? Do you fictionalize, exaggerate, and form conclusions using just your limited perception? Is there always someone to blame for the way you feel? Then you are toxic. Shift your attention inward and be accountable for your experience and you won’t be. It literally […]
“When you are free, you internally answer to no one, no thing, no expectation or guru or god. You are absolutely, irrevocably accountable and there is nothing more terrifying, more overwhelming, or more beautiful, liberating and spiritually substantial in the whole wide world of existence.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“The tighter you hold on, the more certain it will crumble, break, perish in your grip. A healthy relationship is dynamic – where differences are appreciated, where accountability and kindness are abundant and limitations transparent.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“If you cannot be accountable in the simplest situations, in the most basic communication, you will not face the great difficulties of life with totality, with integrity, discernment, and courage.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“The consequences of our choices are faced in two ways: the building of stories to escape into the familiarity of pain and suffering, or the freedom and uncertainty of accountability.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“The end of what you cannot live without is the beginning of what you need.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Your level of influence on others is not measured by the success of those you influence, but by your determination to not make their success your own. Be content with a small, steady stream of qualities like humility, accountability, and desire, because over time they become massive contributions to the human race.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“The fool attempts to carry the emotional and psychological weight of others. The Master is comfortable with carrying his own weight and realizes the value and power of personal accountability, accessibility, and attention.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“You know that vibe you get from particular people – the in your face vibe that blats, ‘You’re not worth my time and I would rather be sitting in a pile of shit than get to know you.’ You know, that voice – the one you are absolutely certain is the other person psychologically stabbing you? Well, maybe it’s not them. Maybe it’s your most practiced hurt, your deepest fear, or acutest insecurity. Maybe it’s your ‘little me’ holding to what it can to stay alive and then pinning the blame on an unexplained glance or the untold back story of another person. But, I could be wrong. It could be your powers of super perception and awe-inspiring omniscience. Yeah, it could be that.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Those that demand the most from you usually give very little. They inadvertently play games of control and when you don’t play along, will blame you for their emptiness. But those who love authentically take you as you are and will ask nothing they are not ready and willing to give.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
