Wings Magazine introduces Guranda Dumbadze, a doctor-dentist whose interest in medicine began in childhood. What started as a dream eventually became her ultimate goal — and finally, a reality.

Tell us about the journey that led you to your goal.

The road I traveled was not easy. I mean the process of improving my qualifications through various consultations and masterclasses, all of which required a great deal of time, energy, and financial resources.

I encountered many difficulties along the way, but I never gave up. Despite all the challenges, through tireless work and tremendous effort, I managed to reach where I am today. At the same time, self-belief, dedication to my ideals, and the support of my family helped me remain strong and resilient, and success gradually followed.

What was and still is your greatest source of motivation, and why?

My greatest source of motivation has always been my family, especially my father, who sadly is no longer with us. His way of life, immense love for people, willingness to help others, kindness, and humanity inspired me deeply and gave me the strong desire to follow in his footsteps and become someone who brings goodness to others.

From him, I learned that the greatest happiness in life is to serve people wholeheartedly through your life and work, to bring them immeasurable joy, and to see their satisfied faces, sincere smiles, and gratitude.

What do you remember as the biggest challenge throughout your professional career?

I believe that in today’s highly competitive environment, every single day is a challenge, and there is no universal formula for success that works in every situation. However, I can point out several important things that help us overcome challenges and achieve success.

First of all, you must truly love what you do and never see it as a burden.

It is essential to be confident and not afraid of difficulties.

At the same time, strong faith, inner peace, patience, willingness to help others, healthy human relationships, and a positive work environment are all extremely important. Most importantly, professionalism and continuous development play a major role in success.

How do you balance your professional career and everyday life?

By nature, I am a dreamer, and I believe this helps me balance my daily life and professional responsibilities. I love art, and I think understanding life itself is the greatest form of art — a constant process of searching and discovering.

That is why I often spend time in nature and enjoy feeling the colors of the world around me. I listen to beautiful melodies, and I love poetry, painting, and theater — everything that nourishes my soul and makes me happy.

Recently, I also became interested in photography and started studying it more deeply. There is something truly beautiful about capturing an ordinary moment in an extraordinary way, freezing time for a second so you can joyfully say: “Stop, moment, you are beautiful.”
