“Do you use others as an excuse to keep your pain alive? Do you fictionalize, exaggerate, and form conclusions using just your limited perception? Is there always someone to blame for the way you feel? Then you are toxic. Shift your attention inward and be accountable for your experience and you won’t be. It literally […]
“There is a life under every mad, crazy schedule, underneath all your incessant thought, all your planning and worry. Let’s call this life ‘she’. She will take you where you need to go, tell you what you need to hear, give you what your soul truly wants. She lives and breathes in her own way, […]
“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

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
“Those that transform the world do not attempt to convince humanity of ideologies with check lists and patriarchs, or any ideology for that matter. They do not preach what is popular, nor do they encourage regurgitated, mechanized living. They inspire, by example, others to live fresh, new visions of their lives. Have courage and transform the world. Break the status quo. Obtain the certainty that only comes from risking every belief you are sure of and feel the ethereal integrity of inner freedom.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
