“It may seem that love makes emotional wrecks of us all, that it wakes us with fire and smothers us with the fear of its absence; but that is not love. Love is aware of loss and yet it pulls you in closer. Love is realizing that everyone needs it, that all are worthy of […]
“Guilt justifies our limitations, keeps us in unhealthy relationships and poisons us from the inside out.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“If you only connect deeply in relationships when there is a crisis or shared grievance, you are training your subconscious to practice psychological stress so that you have an excuse to be loved. You don’t need an excuse. You exist, and that is the best reason there is. It is not about believing you deserve love. It is about feeling, practicing, training your psyche to feel love whether ideal conditions are present or not, which is the best contribution to your life, your relationships and the world you can make.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“There is no suffering for joy, no path of trials you must go through in order to deserve it. The only sacrifice for joy is in the surrendering of the idea that it has a price or that it must somehow be earned. Joy and bliss and love are yours now, simply because you exist.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Betrayal and hurt are merely signs you are missing information about the other person. Don’t make hurt a part of your personal identity. Rather accept you do not have all the answers, then let a revelation unfold about what you believe you are worth.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

It may seem difficult, but it is actually the easiest, most natural thing you can do. There’s nothing to sacrifice, no painful proof to provide for your worthiness, and it’s not even a matter of deserving. It is simply feeling the wonder and beauty and love that is free and available to you now.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“What you have or do not have directly corresponds with what you feel worthy of. There is no physical sacrifice, only a psychological one.” -Amy Larson,
“You do not have to go through years of suffering to be worthy. Every joy is accessible to you now, every liberty and good feeling. You suffer, because you believe you are not worthy.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Boasting about something you are good at probably means you need a little more practice at it. If you are wholly content with your abilities and worthiness, you will find no need to announce it to the world.” -Amy Larson. amyjalapeno.com
