“Never mind your ideas of how things should look, your expectations of how things must be. Life will scramble all of that into an unrecognizable chaos. The difficulty, the joy, the privilege is in being undone and then creatively reshaping yourself into a form you never imagined could be so beautiful.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Surrender to ease. Surrender to being loved. Surrender knowing the limits of how far you can go. Relax into curiosity and let it reveal the wonder of your unknown.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Everything is temporary. If you take one moment, one thought, one feeling and make it the sum of your life, the result is an inclination to give up. It is despair. But if you accept that your capacity is immense, that you can care for many worlds within your one using compassion and understanding, then life becomes entertaining and joyful – a continual metamorphosis, written in your DNA for generations to come. Your greatest contribution to the world is not the world as it is now, but to you as you are now and for those that follow.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“You’ve done it! You’ve made the hard decision. You’ve pulled up your bootstraps, mustered huge courage, and now you’re ready to move forward and face the world with this new life change under your belt. Some advice: don’t let this new-found life-style become a mask – another identity for you to hide behind. Keep moving. Let go of what you think you know again and again. Make room for a quicker, broader evolution of you. Wake up new and innocent each day. What was true yesterday, may not be today and will not be (fully) tomorrow; but the truth you do need will follow you everywhere.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“The end of what you cannot live without is the beginning of what you need.” -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
“The more you resist a situation, the bigger, heavier, and intense it becomes. When you find the lesson in it, view your well-being as a reason for its sole existence, it dissipates, lightens, and transforms your perspective, your world, your life.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“The victim lets circumstances, the choices of others, and their own predictions (of how others might react to their choices) shape their path. The creator sees these things as opportunities and uses obstacles to amass and integrate fresh, new possibilities that will reshape their most stubborn convictions. They don’t avoid or run away. They face, lean in. They are as malleable as the cosmos that created them and in turn become the breath of the universe.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Thoughts can calcify the mind. Inaction can make the body rigid. Why are more afraid of freedom and movement and change than you are of a slow death? The best thing you can do for you and your loved ones is to let yourself be remade.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
[psst…It won’t be comfortable. It may not be easy. Although, it can be, depending on your perspective of change and being uncomfortable and being remade.]
“Fear is an opportunity. It is fuel for courage to transform us into a finer human being.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
