“The image you have of yourself is solidified by the feelings you perpetually entertain. You repeat them so often, that you unknowingly defend them at every turn. You say you want to feel differently, to experience more joy and love and laughter; but are you willing to demolish the image of yourself that you have invested so much time and effort into solidifying? If not, that extraordinary life you want will never happen. It is impossible to remain the same creature all of your life. Your evolution, your change is inevitable. You can either resist it and be plagued by drama, suffering and fatigue, or initiate the change yourself by tearing down every idea, belief and feeling that keeps you small, isolated and fearful. In other words, your joy depends on you having huge balls of courage.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Denial is personal dishonesty. It blocks you from the particular perspective that will infuse your life with the greatest joy. You aren’t aware of it. You can’t see it. To have the determination and courage to take an honest look at your fears – those inside and outside parts of you deemed ugly and wrong – is an invitation for deep joy to enter your life, your purpose, and relationships.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Every human being has superior and inferior qualities, thoughts, and behaviors, whether they get expressed or not. The most prevalent qualities are those that get the most focus. Which ones are you looking at?” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“A few behaviors does not make an entire human being. If you focus on limited information, you will have a narrow view of a person or situation. If you turn your attention to authenticity (yours and theirs), you both become new, you both step into the light and a world of endless perspectives unfolds. All one has to do is perpetually concede to ignorance of all the facts, because you never will have them all, in any situation, about anyone.” -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
“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
“No matter where you live or what your cultural and financial situations are, you are free to think and free to feel. Will you use that freedom to build a mental and emotional prison or will you use it to explore the vast creative possibilities of your life.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
