“The end of what you cannot live without is the beginning of what you need.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
how to discover what you need (daily hot! quote)
courage
are you a master of change or hypocrisy? (daily hot! quote)
“You can believe the most profound philosophy and brilliant ideals, but they will mean nothing and have no effect unless you have the courage, determination, and fierce attention to turn inward daily, hourly even and with absolute humility to take an honest look at whether or not your thoughts and actions match what you believe. And then when they do, be ready for it all to change. Isn’t life wonderful.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
are you in denial? (daily hot! quote)
“Denial is personal dishonesty. It blocks you from the particular perspective that will infuse your life with the greatest joy. You aren’t aware of it. You can’t see it. To have the determination and courage to take an honest look at your fears – those inside and outside parts of you deemed ugly and wrong – is an invitation for deep joy to enter your life, your purpose, and relationships.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
Is control your biggest obstacle to happiness? (daily hot! quote)
“In the process of waiting for the perfect moment, for conditions to be exactly what you think they should be, you will miss out on what it is you are waiting for.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
are you a trailblazer? (daily hot! quote)
“Those that feel deeply, that are unapologetic and unabashed by intense fears (not of the world, but of their most intimate relationships) are humanity’s trailblazers. The rest regurgitate and mimic brilliance.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
how to handle the criticism of others (daily hot! quote)
“It doesn’t matter what people think of you. What matters is you taking an internal look to discover whether or not what they say is true, followed by an internal nod of gratitude for the opportunity and acknowledgement for being so courageous.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
so you want to be courageous? (daily hot! quote)
“With courage comes a new frontier, a path few go out to meet or see or understand. When you walk with courage, you choose a degree of aloneness and obscurity. Invisibility is for the courageous, those that desire most to be seen.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
are you living an extraordinary life? (daily hot! quote)
“An extraordinary life requires extraordinary risk. Not in time or effort or will, but in allowing your perceptions to be vulnerable, including a few split second decisions made from your gut that will change the course of your life entirely. That’s what death does. That’s what change is. The courageous meet death before it happens. They change before life forces them to.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
how anything other than change is a slow death (daily hot! quote)
“Thoughts can calcify the mind. Inaction can make the body rigid. Why are more afraid of freedom and movement and change than you are of a slow death? The best thing you can do for you and your loved ones is to let yourself be remade.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
[psst…It won’t be comfortable. It may not be easy. Although, it can be, depending on your perspective of change and being uncomfortable and being remade.]
how attached are you to you? (daily hot! quote)
“Resistance to change is understandable, and it can be brilliantly justified. But change is movement. It is necessary turbulence that demands a variety of connections with people, places, and situations key for psychological equanimity. When you insist on the same identity day in and day out, when you cling to the perceptions of who you think you are in your mind and with your body, your life turns in to a gray stagnant pool and the essence of your spiritual beauty withers and can vanish entirely. Be brave. Let turbulence be your teacher. Be remade again and again. Be brave.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
