Dreams That Aren’t Mine

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
  Ever since I was little, I’ve heard stories—of great successes, of glorious victories, of bright worlds waiting to be conquered. I was raised with the idea that dreams are our guiding light, that they are the engine of life, that we move forward through them. But over time, I began to feel that some of those dreams weren’t mine. They seemed to belong to someone else, to an image built from the expectations of others—of society, of family. They were foreign to my heart, yet I carried them like armor that protected me but also weighed me down and held me back. This was one of the most painful truths I had to accept—that many of the dreams I had chased weren’t born of my soul. They were someone else’s dreams, imposed by the outer world, by voices I heard before I had the chance to hear my own. At first, it was hard to admit this. We all want to be loved and accepted, and often we’re willing to sacrifice our own desires just to be approved. My life felt like a journey guided by map...

Mindful consumption

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

 In today's society, #consumerism has become a dominant force in our lives. We are constantly bombarded with #advertisements and encouraged to buy more and more products. However, this has led to a growing concern about the impact of our #consumptionpatterns on the #environment and on #society as a whole. Mindful consumption is about making conscious choices that take into account the impact of our consumption on the #planet and on others.

One way to practice #mindfulconsumption is by #reducing our consumption overall. This can be done by buying fewer products, repairing and reusing items we already own, and avoiding impulse purchases. By buying less, we can reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. It's important to recognize that our consumption patterns have an impact on the environment, and that our choices can make a difference.

Another way to practice mindful consumption is by choosing products that are sustainably produced and ethically sourced. This can include choosing products made from environmentally friendly materials, such as bamboo or recycled plastic, or buying products from companies that have a commitment to sustainability. It's also important to consider the social impact of our purchases, and to support companies that have fair labor practices and pay their workers a living wage.

When it comes to food, mindful consumption means choosing products that are locally sourced and organic whenever possible. This can help reduce the environmental impact of transportation and chemical use in agriculture, and can also support local farmers and communities. It's also important to consider the impact of our food choices on animal welfare and to choose products that are produced in a humane and ethical manner.

Mindful consumption also means considering the impact of our purchases on the planet and on #futuregenerations. This can include choosing products that are recyclable or biodegradable, or avoiding products that contribute to waste or pollution. It's also important to consider the long-term impact of our choices, and to choose products that are built to last and can be repaired or recycled when they reach the end of their lifespan.

Finally, mindful consumption means being aware of the impact of our choices on society as a whole. This includes considering the impact of our purchases on marginalized communities and choosing products that are produced in a way that supports social justice and human rights. It's important to recognize that our consumption patterns have a global impact, and that we have a responsibility to make choices that support a more equitable and just world.

In conclusion, mindful consumption is about making conscious choices that take into account the impact of our consumption on the planet and on others. This can include reducing our consumption overall, choosing products that are sustainably produced and ethically sourced, choosing locally sourced and organic food, considering the impact of our purchases on the planet and future generations, and being aware of the impact of our choices on society as a whole. By practicing mindful consumption, we can contribute to a more sustainable and just future for all.

Are You Ready?

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

   Are You Ready? To receive abundance, love, and your own greatness? I sit in the stillness of the morning. I feel something rising from within—like a tide I cannot stop. A thought, a feeling, a realization. I hear it again and again: “Are you ready?” This question doesn’t come from the outside. It is born from the depths of the soul—that quiet yet powerful part of us that knows far more than the mind. Am I ready for the abundance that is already approaching? Am I ready for True Love , the one I’ve long prayed for and yearned for? Am I ready to receive that which I’ve asked for... even when it comes in a way I never expected? Receiving is also a choice Many people believe the spiritual path is only about giving up—desires, attachments, the material world. But there is another phase—perhaps even harder: Being ready to receive. To allow abundance into your life, without sabotaging it. To accept love, without hiding behind the fear of getting hurt. To live joyfully...

The Gardener’s Lesson - The Power of Slow, Steady Dedication and Patience

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
 In life, we often seek quick results, immediate successes, and visible changes. But true magic, real achievement comes from another quality — patience and the persistence of the gardener. The gardener is a teacher who shows us the lesson of slow and systematic dedication — of committing to a cause with daily work, love, and care. He knows that not every seed sown will sprout immediately, that growth is a process requiring time and attention. This lesson is about that perseverance which remains invisible at first but forms the foundation of every true accomplishment. It is a lesson about overcoming the "lack of immediate effect" — when there is no result, but despite that, a person continues doing what they feel is their calling, their gift. Because a true calling is not measured by the speed of success but by the depth of dedication. The world around us often emits confusion, fear, uncertainty that can distract us from our path. But the gardener is not influenced by the m...

Don't Pull the Flower to Make It Grow Faster: Bulgaria and the Path to the Eurozone

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

There are processes that cannot be forced. Processes that cannot be accelerated without serious consequences. One of them is natural growth — whether it be of a person, a people, or a nation. When we pull the flower to make it grow faster, we don’t help it develop — we tear it. The same is happening today with Bulgaria and the issue of entering the Eurozone. When There’s No Time to Mature Every society has its own rhythm of maturity — economic, social, cultural. And Bulgaria is in a phase where it needs awareness, dialogue, and public participation in deciding on such a profound change as losing its national currency. But instead — we are being pressured. Politicians and institutions are racing to present “readiness” to European commissions, even when that readiness isn’t real. Reports are manipulated, numbers are dressed up, and the voice of the people is silenced. The fear of a referendum says it all: not because they don’t know what we’ll say — but because they know exactly what...
