“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
“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

“A decision based in fear of the reactions of others is unstable. Such an inauthentic choice cascades into a series of delusions that will, eventually, bring you (mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) back to zero. Go ahead. Try it out. See, what did I tell you. “If you want to make sound, lasting choices, you appreciate […]
“Psychological suffering can be just as addictive as any mind altering drug, and (in some cases) almost as dangerous; because it subtly takes over your decision-making process, seducing you to postpone, tune out, even sabotage much needed moments of happiness.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“What seems contradictory (especially in people) may simply be a paradox. There is not one person that knows all of the factors playing into my decisions. And I have no clue what makes up yours.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeño.com
“‘Why’ is the cornerstone of all sound decisions. It is a dishonor to everything divine within you to decide any other way.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeño.com
