What’s up, wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people? How are you all doing today? I hope you are having an amazing day, and whatever you do, don’t let anybody steal your joy!
Welcome back to Maryam's Joyful Life. I decided to sit down right here—no fancy studio setup, no makeup, just raw and authentic mom life—to talk about something so many of us face: walking away from rejection and trusting that God is working behind the scenes.
The Sting of Working Hard and Coming Up Short
As many of you know, alongside my travel business, I am a licensed Realtor here in Texas with Keller Williams in the Permian Basin. I’ve been putting in the work since June, and these past 90 days have brought close calls, heartbreak, and real rejection.
Recently, I had a situation where I gave everything. I went above and beyond, sacrificing weekend time with my sweet husband and kids to do research, answer questions, and show up. But in the end, they didn't sign my buyer representation agreement—they took my hard work and went with someone else.
When the listing agent followed up, people asked me, "Why didn't you ask them why they didn't pick you?"
My answer was simple: I didn't ask, and I won't chase.
My actions proved my commitment. If people see your dedication and still choose to walk away, let them go. You are far too valuable to beg anyone to see your worth or lower yourself to demand an explanation.

God’s Protection in Disguise
Rejection hurts—it can feel heavy and heartbreaking in the moment. But every single time something hasn't worked out in my life, hindsight revealed that God was saving me from stress, toxic environments, or problems I couldn't see.
Why cry over a shack when God is preparing a mansion for you?
Scripture tells us that all things work together for good to those who love the Lord. That means:
Closed doors are divine protection: He is guarding your peace and your future.
Seed time is never wasted: The effort, love, and diligence you sow will produce a harvest, even if it doesn't come from where you initially expected.
You are not a quitter: Disappointment may sting, but it makes the eventual breakthrough and testimony that much sweeter.
Business Wisdom and Healthy Boundaries
Moving forward, I am stepping into a new strategy. Experience is the best teacher, and I’ve learned that setting clear boundaries isn't selfish—it's wise.
From now on, I don't work for free. Before doing deep research or answering detailed property questions, clients must sign a buyer representation agreement. If someone already has an agent, I'll kindly direct them back to their representative. Setting boundaries protects your time, your energy, and your family.
Whether in business or personal relationships, stop chasing people who treat you like you're disposable. Fall in love with yourself again. Chase your growth, trust God's timing, and know that what is truly meant for you will never pass you by.
Keep moving forward, hold your head high, and never let anyone steal your joy!
