Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
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 [...]
Have you ever notice that your life has become bland? Colorless? Drab? You just don’t seem to see bright colors? Or you don’t use them? Maybe you haven’t notice… I didn’t realize the colors in my life…indeed, my life…had become “muted” until last week while I was in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, for a [...]
Humans love predictions. Just look at how Americans wait for a groundhog, of all the crazy animals in the world, to predict when spring will arrive. It’s a national holiday. Groundhog Day. Really? In fact, our obsession with predictions really just keeps us from living in the moment and doing what is necessary to create [...]
Do you remember that old saying, “Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face?” I’ve been thinking about it lately. Typically we use it when a person does something spiteful to hurt others that also hurts himself. Yet, sometimes we don’t even know we are doing this. I see this happening often when we [...]
The Jewish New Year comes in the autumn, at a time when things are not new at all but old. Here in Northern California, everything is brown and dry from the drought.

“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 [...]
A strange thing happens to me when my life feels out of control in any way. I start cleaning. I don’t mean just dusting and vacuuming. I don’t do that much of that. (I admit that the one splurge I allow myself in my life is a person who actually cleans the house every two [...]
“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” — Marianne Williamson For years, on and off, I’ve kept a gratitude journal. Pretty simple really. You get a notebook, and once a day–usually before you go to bed–you write down at least five things for which you [...]
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 [...]
