“The more you resist a situation, the bigger, heavier, and intense it becomes. When you find the lesson in it, view your well-being as a reason for its sole existence, it dissipates, lightens, and transforms your perspective, your world, your life.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“The victim lets circumstances, the choices of others, and their own predictions (of how others might react to their choices) shape their path. The creator sees these things as opportunities and uses obstacles to amass and integrate fresh, new possibilities that will reshape their most stubborn convictions. They don’t avoid or run away. They face, lean in. They are as malleable as the cosmos that created them and in turn become the breath of the universe.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

“Ego is like gravity on the soul: limiting, restricting possibilities. The more you fortify the ego with naming, definitions and absolutes, the greater the pull (or effect) it has on your reality.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Your perception of anyone, including yourself is not the truth. The truth is buried somewhere underneath what your parents, teachers, schoolmates, even what you told yourself from birth to this moment.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
