Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
I’ve been thinking a lot about attitude and how it affects our ability to achieve our goals and realize our dreams. In fact, mindset affects just about everything–including how your day turn out. Your attitude can determine each and every moment of your life in a multitude of ways. Think about the saying, “I woke [...]
This past year or two I’ve watched my children spread their wings and really begin to fly. In a few cases, they are still flapping them around a bit and wondering if they can really handle a long distance flight, if they’ve got the skill, the endurance, the character. But every day they fly just [...]
Lately I’ve been stretched to my max. I have no one to blame but myself. I’ve created numerous deadlines for myself and challenges—opportunities—all within a very short amount of time. Sometimes the stretching doesn’t feel so good. Like a teenager with growth pains, I can feel myself aching from the effort. But I know it’s [...]
I spent my last evening in Germany having dinner with some of my husband’s colleagues. He’d been to Berlin on business. I’d tagged along to visit my son in Dresden. The conversation turned briefly to the fact that three of us would be flying the next day—December 21, 2012. Someone joked, “I wonder if you’ll [...]
As a Jew, I’m now in the midst of Days of Awe, the 10 days between the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah and the Day of Repentance, Yom Kippur. During this time we are supposed to take an accounting of our sins and repent for them. However, I think the biggest sin of all is [...]

For example, I love gymnastics, dressage, tennis and soccer during the summer Olympics as well as volleyball. Yet,I watch [...]
Yesterday I watched an past episode of Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday. It featured Bishop T.D. Jakes speaking about how to use our time effectively. I found myself pondering something I often think about: How much could I do that truly fulfills my purpose here on earth if I just gave up all the things I [...]
A moment exists when you know you must act. If you do not take action in that moment, whatever it is you desire or want to do simply will not come into reality or you will not do it. You won’t take action. Inspiration hits. You must take inspired action. If you don’t, the energy [...]
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 [...]
I took some time today to go out and look at and appreciate a few trees in my yard. I have a lot of trees because I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains in Northern California. Some of them are very old and tower over our house. Others are small and struggling to stay alive [...]
