Last night a video on Youtube® took my attention. The title was “What is the regret of Iranian People?”.

This street random people interview was from not only the country that I am currently staying, but also from the exact city where I live as of now.

So, I let it play and I was listening to different people of this city from different gender and age talking about what in life they regret.

There was a lot of information to take, somehow you could see the video from many vintage points, including, psychological, economical, geographical and social aspect of these people and how it had influenced their lives.

After watching the video, I asked myself if I too have a regret!

Surprisingly it seemed I no longer have any regret in life. In fact, I am so grateful and contented with the life I have created. Although I see much potentials and many activities I still want to pursue and much goals to accomplish but I know if time comes for it and its right moment, all those things I want to have will happen. As long as I too put time and effort into them. 

I am happy that I was able to come this far. When I look back and see where I have been and check on my background, I sometimes become so astonished with myself and how I was able to overcome these obstacles. How I was able to achieve every goal I wanted so far in life. How I was able to do professionally and how good I have become in it.

So far, I have to admit the life that I am living right now was once a dream. I know the path ahead is still long to go through, but at this age I am happy. The fact that I have the time to sit right now and type this reflection with my favorite Safron Black Tea with Rose Petals, enjoying the aroma in a nice coffeeshop without much to worry in life is a moment that hardly can be repeated again.

I believe now it is the moment that I have to take care of and with the glance at the future and goals I can spend much time right now at this moment. Be fully present now and here and that makes the difference.

I love my life and I am happy I have no regret.

I have to admit life was not easy on me. Challenges I have faced in life might seem horrible to some, difficulties that I have passed may be so challenging to many, but who I have become is also because of those challenges. They made me who I am now. Therefore, I too am grateful to all my challenges.

As I always tell to my friends, “Life supposedly to be beautiful, and no one said it is going to be easy. Life can be challenging but still have its beauties to enjoy.”

Thank you, life, for giving me the glimpse of this beauty which is called life.
