do you fill in the unknown with fiction and call it reality? (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on October 31, 2015October 31, 2015

“The key to inner freedom is to not latch on to any person, thing, or idea that can answer what you cannot right now. There are no plausible stories for the unanswerable. There are no real endings containing ‘just because’ or ‘it’s God’s will,’ etc. The way to inner freedom is to feel comfortable with the unknown, with uncertainty, and to not fill in those spaces with stories and assumptions and fairy-tales and then call them reality. You will never know all of the answers. Never, ever, as long as you are human will that happen.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

do you let your relationships breathe? (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on August 13, 2014August 13, 2014

“You cannot ever predict what the reactions of another will be. Not fully. Because there are secret vaults, unexpressed thoughts, and hidden passions only that person has access to. Do not assume you know these things in another, and do not suppose they would know them in you. And for god-sake, give someone you know […]

are you ever absolutely certain? (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on December 3, 2013February 26, 2018

“Many of us have the propensity to assume certainty about a person or situation. It’s a mental laziness really. Truth is, there are subtle factors and immensities of seemingly insignificant details just a focused thought away and that, once known, would turn our reality of assumptions on its head.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeño.com
