how damaged are you really? (daily hot! quote) 

by AmyJalapeño! on April 19, 2016February 26, 2018

[reposted from 7/1/14] “We are only damaged to the extent we believe the stories others have told about us.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com Source: how damaged are you really? (daily hot! quote)

can you let go of your story? (hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on April 3, 2016February 26, 2018

“Stories are wonderful escapes. They are instructive, entertaining, and therapeutic. Yet they are prisons if you believe your own. When you identify, cling to, and aim to convince others of your story (or stories) in trying to connect with them, you are in fact the narrator of division, limitation, and grief.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

how to elegantly evolve (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on January 24, 2016February 26, 2018

“I can only understand and find real meaning and insight into those bits of fact that I relate to emotionally. This is my knowledge base.  Procured by experience and refined (ironically) by exposure to variety, my knowledge base determines what and how much I comprehend; and if I attach my identity to any of it, if […]

how do you make choices? (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on January 4, 2016February 26, 2018

“The consequences of our choices are faced in two ways: the building of stories to escape into the familiarity of pain and suffering, or the freedom and uncertainty of accountability.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

what is purpose? (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on December 6, 2015February 26, 2018

“Purpose is not having a family, striving toward a successful career, or helping others in need, etc. Although, all of these things can be a catalyst for purpose. They are simply the stories we tell ourselves, so that a greater evolutionary impulse can propel us into a finer versions of ourselves.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

do you fill in the unknown with fiction and call it reality? (daily hot! quote)

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

“The key to inner freedom is to not latch on to any person, thing, or idea that can answer what you cannot right now. There are no plausible stories for the unanswerable. There are no real endings containing ‘just because’ or ‘it’s God’s will,’ etc. The way to inner freedom is to feel comfortable with the unknown, with uncertainty, and to not fill in those spaces with stories and assumptions and fairy-tales and then call them reality. You will never know all of the answers. Never, ever, as long as you are human will that happen.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

a midnight rant + personal honesty

by AmyJalapeño! on July 6, 2013July 6, 2013

I am seriously baffled how some people prefer to not know the truth of things, especially in their immediate sphere – that they  would rather maintain a shroud of pretend and denial to facts, to honesty. To advance, evolve, to learn the most we can in this life, we must have the courage to seek […]

the stories that shape us (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on July 1, 2013July 1, 2013

“I broke myself for you, dashed my mind across rocks that sliced until I bled from my soul. You, my story, my beautiful and odd story, the tale that will someday escape my hold and belong to multitudes.” -AmyJalapeño.com

the significance of imagination (daily hot! quote)

by AmyJalapeño! on June 30, 2013June 30, 2013

“Above, beyond, and below all things a soul rides the imagination and flies to escape reality and reason, to find sanity.” -AmyJalapeño.com
