“Hypocrisy hides behind the thing you think you’ve mastered. To doubt, to question, to know that there is always more and that you will never truly be a master of anything keeps you in a perpetual state of innocence, learning and humility.” -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
“When your interactions primarily consist of those people you could potentially “save” or guide toward your way of doing things, the ego is in charge. If you really want to help people, if you are truly concerned about their well-being, be the one person not trying to get them to do or be anything. Be the one person they can truly be their beautiful, ugly, authentic self with.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Your perspective will always be limited to some degree, regardless your level of enlightenment. There will always be missing facts, bits of information, or unknown details. Thus the importance to approach every situation, interaction, and each conversation with a certain humility and acceptance that there will always be more to learn. Being aware of your limited perceptions sharpens listening, expands awareness, and deepens your experience.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“When you let resistance (tightness in the body and mind) be the cue to feel deeply, to expand your humility and be at ease in the face of the unknown, you not only transcend ideas and thoughts that no longer work (though at one point they may have), you act with absolute intelligent acuity and everything falls in your favor.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“If you are right all of the time, you are never wrong. If you are never wrong, you are not humbled. If you are not humbled, you never learn. Be wrong. Be humble. Allow learning, exploration, and wonderment.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“The unfortunate underestimate the power of uncertainty and overestimate the security of being right.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Those who are conscious, present, aware do not announce their benevolence to the world. They subtly move through humanity like a gentle undertow, completely satisfied with anonymity.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Beyond the judgement of others, on the far side of your internal dialog, exists truth. The way to it is admission you know nothing and (if you are courageous enough) commitment to the realization that your life is an entertaining fiction.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
