“Your bliss is another’s burden. Your ‘must have’ is their irritation. You don’t need to share similar ideals with another person to confirm or feel better about your own. Get comfortable connecting with others who have contrasting lives from your own. Learn to love the variety and differences of others.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“When something feels right or good or when you experience an ease you have never felt, it is common for a certain amount of psychological discomfort and frigidity to follow. You may hesitate and question the ease, because you have picked up somewhere along your life that meaningful things are only those you have worked the hardest for. […]
“You may have more than one soul mate – one for each significant period in your life. You could spread yourself that thin. But what if you had a soul mate that shifted with you. What if you both used the momentum of determination and power of leaning in, of trusting one another for every difficult, fearful, traumatic, blissful moment. You may call me optimistic. I’m not. The formula is simple and elegant and easily accessible for everyone that gets out of their own way. This is the one and only rule to a successful, long-lasting, deeply intimate relationship (the deepest you will ever experience in your life, if both are determined): there is no giving up. Surrender what you think you know. Find a way.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Each moment (pleasant or painful) you have an opportunity to either learn and grow and broaden your insight, or build an inflexible, certain, cement version of you. Do yourself, your loved ones and the world a favor: become a dynamic human being.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“There is no suffering for joy, no path of trials you must go through in order to deserve it. The only sacrifice for joy is in the surrendering of the idea that it has a price or that it must somehow be earned. Joy and bliss and love are yours now, simply because you exist.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“When you act with desperation or anger or fear, you literally make those emotions physical in form through that action. Wait. Then speak, make decisions, move when you feel love, enthusiasm, and joy. Don’t wait for someone or some thing to bring those emotions to you. Go out and get them! Do anything: listen to music, be alone in nature, appreciate anything that makes you happy. Then take action. When you appreciate every situation as an opportunity for you to practice this, every situation will work to your advantage. Bring bliss into physical form.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Abundance in love and freedom and finance is not all about putting in enough time, hard work, even recognizing that you deserve it. Abundance just is and you either let it take care of you or you don’t.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“The sacrifice for bliss is not hard work or exacting will or giving up things you enjoy, so that you can have them at a later time. It is the surrendering of the ego, of expectations and struggle. The means are the end. Your journey is not from one emotion to another. Your journey, your destination is your predominant feeling now.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Clarity and focus are an inherent part of you when you know what you want. Doors open, conversations arise, and circumstances shift to make it happen. And if you’re not used to ease, if you have an affinity to difficulty, you might sort of freak out and get in the way of your bliss.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Success is less about obtaining things and more about the joy of persistence.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
