Meet Parniya Sadeghian

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Parniya Sadeghian. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Parniya below.

Parniya, thank you so much for joining us. You are such a positive person and it’s something we really admire and so we wanted to start by asking you where you think your optimism comes from?
I learned that everything in life starts in your mind. That you create your world, your reality through your subconscious mind and your deep thoughts. Ive always been a very positive person naturally, but i realize at times what a big impact that had on my life and the way i see life. Your perspective can change everything. So choosing to be optimistic will just be huge favor to your life in order to live the way you desire.

My optimism comes from wanting to not take life too seriously, but rather have fun doing what youre doing in life. Seeing everyday as a miracle and as the best day ever. It really came when i saw people around me going through life not being as happy as they should or could just because simply their mind is not thinking right or in other words not in their favor.
When your mind thinks in your favor and you believe the universe is on your side, you will automatically move different through life. Appreciate little things, see the beautiful miracles.
So by seeing different people, understanding their perspective, i learned that thinking positively, even in the hardest moments, can make your life such a better place.
So I wanted to live in my own little fantasy world, where life is full of miracles and thats when i decided that even when its hard its better to keep your thoughts right than to let yourself down.
Because at the end of the day, you are creating this life for yourself and what else is more important than true internal happiness? Just through that we can start loving, we can help others. Once you are truly happy, there is a light shining through you that will help other people to let their light shine too!

So i believe optimism and positivity are key things to live a life you dream of-

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I am Parniya Sadeghian, i was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany and my family is from Iran. Since a little girl ive always been very creative and wanting to live in a reality that i create, so i started to film my own little stories and movies. I loved watching movies and go recreate my favorites. At that time i couldnt even speak english, but i knew i wanted to be an actor in LA. I used to recreate the movies by lip syncing to the film audio and then film myself.

I always knew that being in film is what i wanted to do. So when i got older i realized that nobody is coming for me or going to make it happen for me, i gotta take it in my own hands. So I started to put my mind to it. I started to believe in myself and that it is possible for me to become an actress in LA and live my dream.

It was not easy to make the first step, but i had a lot of mind preparation. I truly believe your mind is the most powerful. So after i convinced myself that i am able to do it, things started shifting.

I took my first acting classes in London for 6 weeks and decided this is what i want.

So i started planing my big move.
I moved to London and started acting school and life was everything i wanted. I realized how aligned i felt and connected to myself and the universe.

Back in London I started a podcast with my two friends Namoi and Sienna and we are starting season 2 of the podcast very soon! Its all about acting, interviews and mindset. It’s called Young & Unscripted! You can check it out on Youtube and Spotify.

After living 1 year in London i felt ready for my next big step. Los Angeles.

Moving to LA was the plan since i was 5 years old. So doing it felt so so right, i had no doubts at all. Of course it was scary to move to a totally new continent just by myself, but at the same time i knew that i had to do it. There was nothing that would stop me.

So i did it, i did what my 10 year old me always wanted to do. And here i am living the life of my dreams and i am the happiest i have ever been.

I know its right because as soon as i landed things started happening and i was busy working and creating this beautiful life full of acting, creative work, film.

Besides acting i am very big in sports and i love being active.
Ive been doing sports all my life including: Cheerleading, Gymnastics, competitive swimming etc.
I have been training a lot of fighting recently as well and playing a lot of action movie roles, where i do a lot of fight scenes.

I love doing action movies and being active while also telling a story.

I am starting to write my own scripts as well and would love to make my own movies some time in the future.

For now i am very focused on acting and perfecting my craft.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
1. Mind work. Believe in yourself, so others believe in you. See it all happening in your mind, and then manifest it into reality. Convince your mind you are able to achieve everything you want and see it all materialize. Doing the mind work really is the most important in my opinion.

2. Be curious. Trying out new things and putting your place in positions, where you never thought you would be will help you grow a lot. Be brave and get out of your comfort zone for a while and see how much your personality grows and it also helps a lot with creativity. Be scared and do it anyway. Try everything out and learn as much as you can, because you never know until you did it.

3. Know yourself. Know who you are, your morals and values and dont let others take advantage of you. Once you are aligned with who you are and you become the best version, you wont care anymore what anyone else things and you have a strong personality that will lead you towards your goals.

Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?
The power of your subconscious mind by Joseph Murphy. This book was the greatest book ive ever read and it helped me so much to be where i am right now. I think everyone should read this book and just understand how important your thoughts are.

This book really dives deep into how you can create your life, only by your subconscious mind. It gives examples on what people have accomplished, just by simply changing the way they think and talk to themselves.
It all comes down on what your subconscious thinks as true and so it will be. So anything you tell yourself and you are thinking you are convincing your subconscious of it.

So this book helps you to have control over that and you start using this power in your favor and actually create something beautiful, just by simply convincing yourself that its possible.
