Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
“If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?” ~Rabbi Hillel I went to sleep last night thinking about a friend, not much older than myself, who is facing the last days of his life. I [...]

They are picking themselves [...]
We all do a lot of complaining about what we don’t have, don’t like, haven’t achieved,wish were different, and believe someone or something has done to us. How often do you really get honest with yourselves and admit your part in actually creating these situations? How often do you take responsibility for your actions or [...]
Okay, so, I have to admit it. The other day someone told me I am a procrastinator. And I had to admit that he was right. We procrastinate for many reasons. Fear. Laziness. Self-worth issues. Lack of passion. What about you? Are you procrastinating? Why aren’t you doing what you say you want to do? [...]
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 [...]
Today I read a story (and wrote one) about a group of Amish people who went to Israel to seek forgiveness for their ancestors doing nothing to help the Jews during the Holocaust. They also told the Rabbi of the Western Wall that from this time forward they would support the Jews. While all of [...]
Last year I ran a series of 10 posts during the High Holy Days to help people with the t’shuvah process, the process of returning to their best selves. I have compiled those posts into an ebook called 10 Days and 10 Ways to Return to Your Best Self, A T’Shuvah Guide, that is now [...]
