Meet Mo Ganji

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Mo Ganji. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Mo, thanks for joining us today. Let’s jump right into something we’re very focused on here – improving our ability to make decisions. Everyday, we’re faced with decisions that can impact the future of our careers, businesses, relationships and more and so one of the most impactful areas for personal development, in our view, is decision-making. Can you talk to us about how you developed or improved your decision-making skills?

I believe that we are all born with a set of talents. Alongside the socialisation from the society and environment in which we grow up and the individual life experiences that we go through, these talents are a set of tools that we carry around with us in an invisible backpack all our lives.

I believe that skills are learned, but talents are there to be discovered.
The choices we make depend on our character structure and the tools we carry with us. That is very individual.

When I took the time to observe myself and go through my invisible backback, I realised that one of my greatest strengths is my mind and its ability to ask questions, see patterns, connect dots and fantasise about the impossible.

All of which is terrible when it comes to decision making. Thoughts can be an overwhelming wormhole.
Using my mind to make a decision is a failure because it is my mind that is constantly questioning my decision. It’s a never-ending loop of making the best possible decision.

I found that this particular superpower was good for analysing the outside world, but not when it came to my own affairs.
My observation was that the best decisions don’t come from a long thought process, but from a feeling in my gut. A simple yes or no question is enough to answer most questions in a fraction of a second.

Yes or no?
Is my body giving me the energy to do this? Am I excited or not?

The result of this strategy is super interesting, because it’s not what we’ve been told and how we’ve been socialised!

The bottom line is that a decision made in this way will lead to a pleasing outcome for myself and when I’m happy I can raise the energy and vibration of the people around me. Which can allow them to live their potential.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

My name is Mo. Level 41 human.
Born in Iran and raised in Berlin, Germany.

The journey I’m on is an exciting ride for which I’m very grateful. It is a slow life that gives me enough time to discover the hidden gems.

Freedom is the main priority that dictates all my needs and other aspects of this journey.

I choose the path of an artist because it can be anything and nothing. It allows me to create a working environment according to my strengths and weaknesses, without having to follow someone else’s concept.

Tattooing is a craft that combines many of my talents. I’m super sensitive, patient, disciplined, logical and at the end of the day I’m a creative dreamer.

I have found a way to express all my personal beliefs by creating tattoos that people all over the world wear to tell their story.

Win win.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

– Authenticity
– Vision
– Discipline

Authenticity is not a skill. It is the confidence that you are good enough without hiding aspects of yourself.

If you’re a shy weirdo like me, be a shy weirdo.
No matter what profession you pursue, people will always recognise the real you. You won’t make everyone happy and that’s not what we’re here for.
You will attract the people who appreciate you for who you are.
The “right” people.

Vision is the ability to see the big picture and all the small steps that lead to the ultimate goal.

The better you can describe what you want, the easier the chase.
It’s good to dream big and to be naive sometimes.
But a dash of common sense and a detailed plan will get you further than a fantasy.

Discipline is the strength that helps you get through the lows and the rainy days. It won’t always be sunshine and rainbows. Everyone will face diversity at some point, and discipline will be there to remind you that it is worth the struggle.

Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?

The biggest battle is the way social media is evolving.

The algorithm is killing the conventional artist.
More and more talented artists are becoming invisible because we are not entertaining content creators.

I feel like a fool posing in the mirror to get some attention when all I want to present is my work and not myself.

But it’s pointless to fight change because it’s coming anyway. I will find a way to adapt and still be authentic.
