Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
Most people don’t realize that through its choice of words, the Old Testament places emphasis on goal setting. In fact, it seems that God expects us to set targets for ourselves and at least to try to hit them. No matter our religious orientation – or lack thereof, we can all learn something from the [...]
With the Blue Moon rising, tonight we ring in not only the New Year, but a whole new decade. And we do so at amidst a time of change. We’ve seen climate weather, world economic changes and political and government leadership changes. In spiritual, mystical and metaphysical circles, everyone is talking about and predicting change, [...]
Most people don’t realize that through its choice of words, the Old Testament places emphasis on goal setting. In fact, it seems that God expects us to set targets for ourselves and at least to try to hit them. In other words, we are supposed to take the time to come up with resolutions or [...]
On Christmas Eve, I’m once again, like every year, struck by the wonderful example Jesus provides all people – Jew and non-Jew alike – of a human being who achieved full spiritual and human potential.

So much of having an attitude of gratitude involves simply training ourselves to feel gratitude and to see [...]
Today I’m feeling grumpy and depressed. I’m angry, too. These are not emotions I usually like to dwell in, and I don’t recommend that others do so either. They don’t lend themselves to helping us consciously create what we want in our lives. In fact deliberate creation becomes difficult when we get stuck in negative [...]
Mother’s Day represents a wonderful idea turned into another overly commercialized holiday that tends to be pretty empty at best. I admit that most people do honestly want to remember and appreciate their mother’s, but the way in which they do so could be improved. For Jews, Mother’s Day is just another secular holiday that [...]
As my daughter left this morning to attend Easter Sunday services with her non-Jewish boyfriend, I thought about what she might take away from that service.
