I’m so happy and grateful for today. Thank you for checking out Maryam’s Joyful Life 💛
Right now, I’m sitting here with my sweet baby while she happily watches her favorite show—Cocomelon TV. She loves it. Every episode. On repeat. And honestly, watching her enjoy these little moments fills my heart.
It’s just the two of us at home today, and as I sit here holding her, I’ve been reflecting on the last few hours—maybe the last four hours, actually. I had business to take care of. Real responsibilities. Clients depending on me. Partnerships that require focus. And at the same time, I’m a mother first.
During the first wave of business tasks, my baby was asleep. I gently placed her on the bed and went to handle my clients. Even while working, my mind stayed on her. Is she okay? Is she about to wake up? What if she starts crying? That quiet anxiety followed me the entire time. Still, I showed up. I handled the work. I didn’t quit.
The second business task required even more focus—a partnership where I couldn’t afford distractions because I was responsible not only for my clients, but for serving another business’s clients too. Again, the anxiety lingered. My baby slept peacefully the entire time. And I got through it.
I’ll be honest—it would have been easier to stop everything. To say, “This is too much. I’ll do it later.” The back-and-forth between motherhood and business can feel overwhelming. For some people, that anxiety alone would be enough to quit for the day.
Maybe you’re in a similar place right now.
Maybe you feel like you’re juggling too much—parenting, work, responsibilities, expectations—and it feels heavy. If that’s you, here’s the encouragement I want to leave you with today:
Don’t quit. Just keep going.
Do the best you can with what you have right now. If you have to juggle, then juggle. That doesn’t make you a failure. It makes you resilient. Progress doesn’t always look neat. Sometimes it looks like moving back and forth, adjusting, pausing, and continuing anyway.
Take advantage of the moments when you can focus fully—when the baby is resting, when help is available, when the space is quiet. Learn. Build. Grow. Because there will be times when you have to juggle—and when that time comes, you’ll already know what to do.
And maybe it’s not business for you.
Maybe it’s a situation in your life that feels overwhelming. Maybe you don’t even know where to start. Hear this clearly: you have within you the strength to handle what you’re facing. You are not alone. God is with you. And if God is with you, who can be against you? No one.
Pray. Trust God. Then take action—right where you are, with what you have. Don’t exhaust yourself worrying about what’s missing. Use what’s already in your hands and trust God with the rest.
I promise you, there will come a moment—just like this one—where you’ll sit back, smile, and think, “Wow. Look at everything I made it through. Look at what I accomplished.” And you’ll feel peace.
So don’t quit. Keep going. I’m praying that God grants you favor, clarity, and success.
Before you go, I want to leave you with this question:
What is that one thing you could be doing right now that you’re waiting for the “perfect time” to start?
Get up and do it. There will never be a perfect time. You create it—right now.
If you’d like to work with me one-on-one, I do have opportunities available.
