We love Nazanin Mandi, this LA-native is as beautiful on the inside as she appears on the outside. A classically trained singer, TV star, model and designer, she really is a quadruple-threat. Here, she reveals what she has learnt…
Love
Love comes naturally when you’re with the right partner but ALL real love requires work and hopefully growth. We live in a time where if something in a relationship is off/wrong we walk away.
When it comes to this ‘Modern day Mentality’, my advice is the following… if you see great potential in your partner/relationship put in the required time, patience and work to help your love flourish. Listen to no one but your own instincts, this is your life and no one else’s.
Money
Money is ebb and flow, it is not something that I take for granted or overtly flaunt. To me, it is extremely important to remain humble but especially when it comes to funds, which can be taken away at any second. Gratitude, hard work and investment is key.
Fear
Fear is the greatest illusion! It has personally postponed MANY of my dreams and for what?! Why be afraid of your own potential and talents? That only hurts YOU in the end.
Trust
For me personally, trust is earned. I never go in to ANY relationship/friendship trusting right off the bat. That is not who I am or will ever be, I’m extremely guarded.
That being said, I will definitely give my time and put in the effort to build/rebuild trust in the people I truly love.
Success
I’m never fully satisfied when it comes to personal success, it might be the virgo in me. There is so much more out there for me that I have yet to even touch. For me, success is a journey that I’m slowly learning to enjoy.
Friends
It’s about quality NOT quantity, you are who you kick it with. Over time you subconsciously pick up patterns and personality traits from the 5 people you’re around the most, so choose wisely.
Not everyone is meant to be in your life for all eternity, some are here to teach you what you like and don’t like and that is perfectly okay.
Sex
Sex is one of the most important elements in a successful relationship. That connection is priceless, it is vital to make intimate time with your partner a priority.
Myself
I am forever learning, forever evolving and never perfect. I have learned that patience is key, you’re the ONLY one who can alter your destiny. Everything worth value takes time and endless hard work.
Society
At this point in time, we as a society are lacking individuality and that is so disappointing. I wish we saw more leaders and less followers. That transition is greatly needed in my eyes and can absolutely happen if we all learn to remain our true selves.
Loyalty
Loyalty is without a doubt the most priceless characteristic one can possess, never take it for granted. If you find true loyalty, hold on to those beautiful individuals for life.
