“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
“Trying to instill the fear of God (or any fear at all) in a person that thinks independently is like trying to convince an already free human being they are not free. If you are this sort of preacher, if you must spend your time and energy convincing others to live a life the way […]
“Those addicted to an emotion will say and do whatever it takes to feel it. They don’t want the truth or to understand. They don’t want facts. They want a fix.

“There is an opportunity for you to grow deeply, to make more room in order to feel a deeper love, and it is blocked by your judgement of a situation or another person. Rash judgment is the protector of pain and fear and ego. This is the gateway to freedom from those things: when you approach a person or situation that has brought you misunderstanding or pain, pretend you’ve never looked upon them before. Practice setting aside your preconceived notions of how the encounter will turn out and the opportunity for joy and depth will light up your mind.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“The path we choose to avoid mistakes and pain and the hurt of others is the fountainhead of more.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
