Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
I haven’t been writing much lately on this blog…not from lack of desire. It’s because I’ve had my nose to the proverbial grindstone. It’s been a good thing, though. For quite some time I’ve been complaining that I can’t get anything done. Then two things happened. I needed to get some things done on deadline, [...]
Everyone talks about authenticity. How do you find your authentic voice as a writer? How do you ensure that as an business person you come across as authentic? When you get up and speak about yourself and your services, how can you guarantee the audience “gets” that you are being “real”? There’s a formula that [...]
I’ve been working really hard lately to change my negative thoughts into positive ones in a variety of areas in my life. I’m a firm believer in the creative nature of our thoughts and words. Sometimes, however, I need inspiration as well–I need to be reminded that I need to keep persevering even when something [...]
I am very proud to announce that I have finally updated my short book, Navigating the Narrow Bridge: 7 Steps for Moving Forward Courageously Even When the Life Seems Most Precarious, and released it as an e-book available in most e-b0ok formats.

Lately I’ve been feeling stuck. I want to be unstuck. Ever been there? I’ve tried prayer. I talked to God. I cried to God. I pleaded with God. I tried counseling. And I got really honest with myself and with others, baring my deepest feelings. Today in the car I decided to follow Rebbe Nachman [...]
We all do a lot of complaining about what we don’t have, don’t like, haven’t achieved,wish were different, and believe someone or something has done to us. How often do you really get honest with yourselves and admit your part in actually creating these situations? How often do you take responsibility for your actions or [...]
Have you ever wondered why more people have a fear of public speaking than of dying? The reason is simple. They don’t want to be in the position Christina Aguilera found herself in yesterday as she sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl. In front of millions of people she messed up part of [...]
Okay, so, I have to admit it. The other day someone told me I am a procrastinator. And I had to admit that he was right. We procrastinate for many reasons. Fear. Laziness. Self-worth issues. Lack of passion. What about you? Are you procrastinating? Why aren’t you doing what you say you want to do? [...]
