Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
“Can you really let go?” I asked myself this question today when I left my son a long message on Facebook telling him I was basically “cutting the apron strings” and letting him handle his own stuff. To a great extent, I have not choice but to let go; he’s in Germany. I can’t help [...]
Not that long ago I went to see the movie, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I have to admit, I’d seen the trailer (below) and was charmed by it in many ways but in particular by a line said by one of the main characters, Sonny, who, as it turns out says this several times [...]
How often do you celebrate small thing, daily events, typical moments? I have to admit, I don’t do this often enough if at all. Sometime I don’t even celebrate the big moments. When I got my book contract, I remember putting the celebration off. I had so much work to do to finish the book [...]
When recently have you experienced pure joy? I had to ask myself this very question as I watched a recent episode of Oprah Winfrey’s new Lifeclass. Leave it to Oprah to get me thinking. In this Lifeclass she showed several episodes of the Oprah Show when people experienced “joy rising,” including one I wrote about [...]
Over and over again we hear how we must connect our thoughts and feelings to create what we want. Even more important is simply to feel good. Lately I’ve been having a hard time getting to that feel-good place. Then I watched this video of the Black Eyed Peas singing “I Gotta Feeling” at the [...]
I often consider and write about the idea of living in the moment. I know it’s not just a concept; it’s a worthy goal and one some people achieve. I have found it difficult to do so, although it remains one of my goals. Quieting my mind during meditation also remains one of my goals, [...]
Not long ago I wrote a post in which I asked what people do to make themselves happy. I also publish many of my posts at VibrantNation.com, and there I received a comment from someone struggling with HOW to be happy. The woman’s daughter was struggling with a difficult situation. With Thanksgiving and the holiday [...]
Recently I’ve been trying to help my daughter through a particularly low patch in her life. A freshman at college, she’s felt depressed and lonely. We’ve had many conversations during which I had to listen to her muffled words as she cried and blew her nose. As my heart broke and I tried to hold [...]
Like the founders of our nation promised, we all have the right to pursue happiness and we do this via the choices we make. Today, Independence Day, I’d like to remind you that you are, indeed independent. You are free. We have the freedom to pursue the things that make you happy and bring you [...]
Years ago I read the book The Path of Least Resistance by Robert Fritz. I haven’t thought about the basic concept embedded in the book’s title in many years. Today, however, I gave in to that concept. I’ve been fighting…resisting…doing anything but what I thought I needed to do. “I have work,” I have thought. [...]
