“If you are afraid a certain thing will happen, if you hesitate, stew and avoid the unknown, it will (happen); but if you plunge into the fear, if you boldly meet it with courage, with endless possibilities and tireless determination at the ready, a resolution not only must emerge, but is inevitable.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Hope has a short life and is not meant for long-term application on any single issue. It is the spark, but if there is no determination, no diligence to honesty and self-examination waiting to pick up the flame, it will fade and a person will sink back into despair and repeat a vicious pattern of […]
“A sense of denial is wonderful if you decide to replace the power board in your 60” t.v. and you let curiosity and determination drive you to succeed. Denial is not so good, however, if keeps you small or limited or in a cult.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“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
“Your level of influence on others is not measured by the success of those you influence, but by your determination to not make their success your own. Be content with a small, steady stream of qualities like humility, accountability, and desire, because over time they become massive contributions to the human race.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“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
“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
“Shit may ‘just happen’, but there’s always a gem buried in there somewhere; and the deeper the shit, the more precious the treasure. The question is, are you willing to burrow in crap to find an inner wealth no one can take from you? (Psst…your trove comes with a shower. And if you start digging and don’t put forth the determination to find it, you will have to walk around with shit on you wherever you go.)” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Stagnation is the destroyer of the psyche. A revision of thought, a determination to keep moving, to change, to evolve with an appreciation for your particular perfect humanness is the foundation of a healthy state of mind.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“There is no one all-encompassing truth, yet truth is everywhere, masked by countless forms. No one can show truth to you or explain it. The only way to find truth is to have the patience and determination to not look for it, but benevolently end everything you are certain of, all your conditioning and what […]
