Dreams That Aren’t Mine

  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...

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

 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 mirror effect of the beings around him. He knows how to love, to care, to wait, and to work until the fruit matures. This is a purposeful, dedicated hard work that accumulates energy over time and creates change.

What today is invisible will appear tomorrow — it will grow, it will manifest. It is important that efforts are made with love and continuity. Only this way, with time and labor, the moment of “Happening” will come — a breakthrough, success, fruit.

The gardener’s lesson is a lesson for life: don’t give up, don’t rush, love your path and believe in the power of small daily actions. Their constant care creates the new reality that waits to bloom.
