Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
I’ve spent the past few weeks in a whirlwind and turmoil of activities and issues with my kids–primarily with one of them. I’ve done all the things a parent should and can do, sometimes receiving gratitude and love in return and sometimes receiving anger and requests to simply bud out totally. Parenting is a tough [...]
The other day on Twitter, someone share a link to Forbes gallery of the world’s billionaires. This person’s tweet said, “Something I can’t ever imagine being.” I replied, “If you can’t imagine it, you won’t ever be it.” Indeed, if you want to be something–a billionaire, a millionaire, a writer, a mother, a wife, a [...]
All day almost every day–about 15-7–I labor. When I’m not at my desk or in front of my computer, I think about my work. And guess what? Most of this time no on even pays me. So why do I do it? I love what I do (or most of what I do). I’ve wanted [...]
Many of you know that the topic of moving through fear is one have often visited on this blog and that I sometimes broach as a speaker. I think it’s imperative to learn to conquer our fears so we can live our lives fully and accomplish our goals. I rarely publish an interview on this [...]

2012. The world was supposed to end, some said. (We knew better.) But things were supposed to change–the energy was supposed to change, at least. A whole week has gone by. We are being flooded now with the light of the first full moon of this pivotal year, which is supposed to affect our consciousness [...]
Have you ever thought about why you are who you are right now, and how you will create who you will be in the future? When I ask most people what makes them who they are right now, they respond, “My past experiences. My education. My environment. My genetics.” These are things that either happened [...]
I’ve been trying to figure out what to write about as a Yom Kippur, Day of Repentance topic. This Jewish High Holy Day typically brings up issues of forgiveness. I didn’t really want to delve into that once again. Then I watched an Oprah Winfrey Master Class video about surrender, and I knew. That’s my [...]
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about people who do things that are inspirational. People who are courageous in large ways and small ways. They take risks. They put themselves on the line.
