Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
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 [...]
This morning I happened to take the time to click on Jeff Herring’s SUNDAY MORNING INSPIRATION: It’s the journey, not the destination. I was so pleased to watch this great clip from the movie “The Way of the Peaceful Warrior,” which is also one of my favorite books by Dan Millman. I found this a [...]
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. (It will be available at Amazon hopefully by the end of the week.) [...]
I write this post today as much for myself as for you–although, I suppose, that’s the truth on most days. As the the wisdom of the sages goes, we teach what me most need to learn. The lesson today: Don’t let money stand in the way of living fully. I say that humbly and with [...]

In a recent blog post, best-selling author and marketing expert made this statement:”No one is going to pick you. Pick yourself.” He was talking about the fact that authors and musicians are making millions without so-called “gatekeepers.” They aren’t waiting any longer for publishers and record companies–the “pickers”– to offer contracts. They are picking themselves [...]
Do you feel like you have lost your mojo? Do you no longer have that special something that makes you glow, feel electric, energized, happy, turned on, and in the flow? Is your magic gone? I’ve been feeling like that for a while now. As I spoke to a friend she mentioned that she thought [...]
Over the last two weeks I’ve spent a lot of time with my daughter preparing her for college and helping her deal with leaving behind a boyfriend she cares about deeply. These two teens maturely choose to end the relationship to allow each other freedom while they live on opposite coasts and experience life in [...]
I once participated in a ropes course where I was asked to climb tall poles, walk across a wire strung between two tall trees (another narrow bridge…), and repel down a cliff. I had always thought myself afraid of heights, so performing these feats seemed unimaginable to me. However, I did almost all of them. [...]
