“When you are challenged, stretched, and shaped by life, surrender to its wisdom. You’ve never been here before. It has. It’s OK to be a little nervous, but if you attempt to control the situation, you will suffer, so let it teach you.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Change and tragedy and pain are so important. They crack you open and bring you back to innocence and unknowing by providing an experience you know nothing about. They are not the only threshold to innocence, but they are highly underused and rarely appreciated.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“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
“There is a distinct difference between what you hear and what a person is actually saying when you listen to them using what you know, what you’ve learned, what you want to say next. If you truly want to understand and connect, forget everything you know.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Each moment (pleasant or painful) you have an opportunity to either learn and grow and broaden your insight, or build an inflexible, certain, cement version of you. Do yourself, your loved ones and the world a favor: become a dynamic human being.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“There are no limits to your progression, and there never will be an arrival or end to learning, so you might as well view your struggles as lessons. And with each lesson comes new depth and love and immensities of things. To practice the magic of transforming misfortune into joy is to live an extraordinary life.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Problems are opportunities waiting for the touch of your appreciation.” -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
“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
“People learn what they need to know when they need to know it. Their thoughts and feelings and actions drive the course of their life. As do yours. You are a fortunate witness to someone’s transformation, not the cause.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
