why less is more (hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on July 31, 2016September 5, 2016

“Less drama, more peace. Less struggle, more ease. Less distraction, more intimacy. Less diversion, more focus. Less things and thoughts, more space, more clarity. Less division, more unity. Less judgment, more understanding. Less rigidity of views, more creativity. Less absolutes, more possibilities and more solutions. Less fear, more courage, more authenticity. Less hatred, hostility and disgust, […]

how to feel less alone in the world (hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on May 12, 2016February 26, 2018

“There are billions of realities on this earth, but there is only one that you contribute to and it is incomplete, impartial, and most likely biased. But when you approach the realities of others with curiosity and a desire for understanding, those limiting  points of view shrink. There is more room for love and you […]

do you color reality? (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on November 11, 2015February 26, 2018

“Persons appear to us according to the light we throw upon them from our own minds.” -Laura Ingalls Wilder

When I first started “amyjalapeno.com” I would post quotes of others mingled with my own musings. About a year and a half in, I decided to challenge myself with the daily hot! quote by seeing how far I could go down the rabbit hole on my own. Alas, I have been able to come up with anything as brilliant as this. It beautifully sums up how much we taint reality and the lives of others when our fear and imagination fills in the gaps. This quote is the ultimate reality check and I absolutely love it.

Your perception of every single person you encounter is entirely colored by your primary thoughts and feelings.

is your judgment more important to you than feeling lighter and more alive? (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on October 28, 2015October 28, 2015

“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

by AmyJalapeño! on October 18, 2015October 31, 2015

“The harshest critic is our internal dialog. When we are unkind to ourselves, it is impossible to be genuine and kind to others.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

how to listen and learn something about yourself while doing it (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on August 21, 2015August 21, 2015

“If you want to connect or influence a person, listen. While you listen, you may hear an inner dialog that fills in the blanks and spaces and gives you all sorts of insight about this person. If you follow it, you will get lost. If you are brave, you will realize every criticism, judgement, and compliment that comes to mind is your own psyche telling you what you need to work on next. Then, once that is all out-of-the-way, you will listen to others with a fierce understanding of your shared humanity.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

how to perform magic in relationships (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on July 14, 2015July 14, 2015

“If you want to really reach someone, descend to your depths, grab your greatest weakness by the neck and pull it out. Take a look at it from every angle. Don’t judge it, try to change it, or slap a label on it. See it for everything that it is and then put it back inside. At some unexpected moment you’ll be able to see the weakness of another, and without their awareness perform the same magic. And in time, they will do it for themselves.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

by AmyJalapeño! on April 14, 2015April 13, 2015

how accurate are your perceptions? (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on March 29, 2015March 29, 2015

“Your perception of anyone, including yourself is not the truth. The truth is buried somewhere underneath what your parents, teachers, schoolmates, even what you told yourself from birth to this moment.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

where to spend your attention (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on March 25, 2015March 25, 2015

“To be certain of what another should do with their life is to deprive yourself of your own. Spend your attention on kindness and a desire for equanimity and understanding.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
