Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
Recently my mother had to put her dog to sleep. This week she was offered a new dog, but she turned down the opportunity. She said she wasn’t sure she wanted a new dog. “I’m too old,” she reasoned. “I may not be able to handle another dog.” Her perception of being “too old” totally [...]
I’m spending the summer again in New York City with my son. Here, amidst the constant noise and motion, I find it difficult to focus. More than that I see how I am torn in too many directions each day. Because of that, nothing gets accomplished. Let me rephrase that last sentence. Things get accomplished…little [...]
Is there something about yourself that you consider a “negative,” something you think of as a detriment to your career or resume? Maybe you didn’t graduate from college or you’ve changed jobs often or English isn’t your first language. Today, figure out how to turn that so-called negative into a positive. Make it an attribute. [...]
This morning I was reading Seth Godin’s blog, and I found his topic pertinent in particular to achieving our goals. He talked about the different conversations going on in our heads and gave the voices names: The ego–seeks applause and recognition. The lizard–seeks safety, wants to fit in and not be rejected or criticized. The [...]
Today, President Barak Obama accepted his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslow, Norway, as the world debates whether or not he deserves the award. I’ve been asked if I think President Obama deserves a Nobel Peace Prize… I don’t think I’m one to judge. I tend to not be very politically minded. I do, however, have some [...]
One of the first metaphysical or spiritual lessons I learned came down to five words: What you focus on expands. This lesson represents the crux of what now people call the Law Attraction, deliberate creation and conscious creation. I write about it often, and I’ve even published a booklet and e-book on the topic, called [...]
Have you ever felt inspire? Has someone ever inspired you? Last night I took my son, who aspires to become a professional dancer, to see Rasta Thomas dance. Rasta Thomas has been his “idol” for some time now. He wants to dance like him…Rasta inspires him to be a great dancer. However, seeing Rasta on [...]
As I sat on my wind trainer today trying to get my post-ACL surgery knee to simply bend a little more than yesterday, I contemplated my back and forth motion. (A wind trainer, by the way, is a contraption upon which you can place a regular bike so you can “ride” it inside.) I had [...]
Here’s an interesting look at how actor Will Smith approaches life and manifestation. He sees life as the art of alchemy: changing lemons into lemonaide, if you will, just like his grandmother advised. This isn’t far off from the Law of Attraction, which may be what he is alluding to without ever saying it directly. [...]
I feel my life swirling somewhat out of control. Sometimes out of control seems like a good thing, like when you can let go and enjoy a water slide, experiencing the speed and the excitement of simply seeing where you end up. Other times it’s a scary thing, like driving down a mountain with no [...]
