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 [...]
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.
