Step Into Your Power: Reject the Lies and Reclaim Your Worth

 

What's up, wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people? How are you all doing today? I hope you are having an incredible day, and I pray nobody steals your joy! Welcome back to Maryam's Joyful Life. It is a gorgeous day today, and I am so excited to be here with you because beautiful, extraordinary things are unfolding.

Today, I want to call you back to your power.

Rejecting the Lie of "Worthless"

Perhaps right now you are feeling low, pitiful, or defeated. Maybe you are surrounded by people or circumstances that whisper—or outright tell you—that you are worthless. When negative energy, harsh words, and emotional storms surround you daily, it can feel like you are being forced to accept that narrative as truth.

Reject it immediately.

You are not worthless. You have immense, immeasurable value. The God who created you crafted a living masterpiece, and His spirit resides within you. You have been given the divine authority to choose an abundant, joyful life, regardless of what you have experienced up to the exact moment you found this post.

There is nothing small about you. You are extraordinary, and your story is still being written.

Rewrite the Narrative With Your Words

Transforming your life doesn't always start with a massive leap—it begins with one simple decision to change your spoken narrative:

• When they call you worthless, declare that you are blessed.

• When circumstances call you forgotten, declare that you are chosen.

• When fear says you are weak, declare that you are called by God and deeply loved.

No weapon formed against you will prosper. The desires for peace, purpose, and good things planted in your heart are valid, and God's plan for your life is not about to stop now.

Cut off the Venom and Walk in Royalty

Give yourself a much-needed break from the people who constantly bring up your past mistakes, rehash your failures, or pour the venom of negativity into your space. You have zero obligation to tolerate that toxicity any longer.

Break away from those voices. Surround yourself with truth-tellers who speak life over you—people who recognize and call out the royalty on the inside of you. You are a child of the Most High, meant to leave an undeniable mark on this world.

Remember who you are today: there is nothing ordinary about you. You are extraordinary.

Walk tall, speak life, and never let anyone steal your joy!

The Plantain Miracle 🍌✨

 I have to share this little story with you all because it truly made me laugh—and think deeply too.

So, I had just finished making a delicious pot of Nigerian beans porridge (if you know, you know 👩🏽‍🍳). And what pairs perfectly with beans porridge? Yep—fried plantains! Sweet, crispy, golden plantains on the side make the whole dish come alive.

Now, here’s the thing… I didn’t have any plantains—at least I thought I didn’t. I was mentally preparing myself to head to the store to get some, even though it was such bad timing. I had so many other things to do and honestly, the thought of another errand felt exhausting.

But then I remembered I had some sweet potatoes I bought recently that were just sitting there waiting to be used. “Okay,” I thought, “I’ll just go with the sweet potatoes this time.”

I almost settled.

And that’s when it happened.

I reached into the cupboard where I thought my sweetman might’ve stored the sweet potatoes—and guess what I found?

A whole bag of PLANTAINS staring right back at me! 😱🍌🎉

I couldn’t stop laughing! I was so happy! I almost missed it—the very thing I truly wanted was already in my house, already provided, already mine. I just didn’t know it.

That’s when God whispered to my heart:

“How many times have you settled because you didn’t realize I had already provided what you were truly longing for?”

Whew! That one hit deep.

It made me wonder—how many “plantains” have we all given up on, simply because we didn’t see them yet? How many blessings, answers, breakthroughs, or dreams are already within reach, waiting on the other side of obedience, or in the midst of us simply taking a step?

I believe God is always working behind the scenes for us. But often, He invites us to move—to take a step, even if it’s just toward the “sweet potatoes.” And sometimes, in the act of moving forward, we stumble upon the very thing we were praying for all along.

This little miracle reminded me of this truth:

🧡 Sometimes, the miracle is already in the house.

🧡 Sometimes, it shows up when we stop striving and start trusting.

🧡 Sometimes, what we think is “settling” becomes the doorway to discovering God’s best.

So here’s my prayer for you today:

May you not settle for less than God wants to give you.

May God open your eyes to the blessings already around you.

And may every step you take, even the small ones, lead you right into His provision and perfect plan.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 🙏🏽

And don’t worry—those plantains got fried, golden and glorious, and that beans porridge? Let’s just say it was a testimony on a plate. 😉

With love and joy,

Maryam 💛

LET US START OVER

Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. It is Monday and it’s a beautiful day. Hope this blog meets you well. 

Research does that most heart attacks happen on a Monday. The reason is because most people working, hate their jobs or the people they work for. They dread going back to work and facing what they don’t like. 

The remedy is love! If we pursue careers we love or find something we love about what we currently, we will neutralize every form of hate which leads to disease in our bodies.

I believe we can change any situation, including our current jobs if we desire. The way we change our situation is by knowing what we want and seeing ourselves experiencing and living in our ideal situations and working with our ideal colleagues.

God works in mysterious ways. As we engage our imagination and stay in our ideal space and work in our ideal jobs often, everything will make way for that to happen.

I have seen this happen for many people and thank goodness I’m now one of such people.

Daily, I now practice seeing myself where I want to be physically. 

We as a collective, can change consciousness of Monday from that of dread and heart attacks to satisfaction and hopefulness.

So today, let’s start all over. It’s Monday and we love our jobs and business. We are so grateful that we get to do what we love and earn money to spend on ourselves and those we love.

Isn’t it so wonderful?

Have a blast today my friends!

Don’t let anyone steal your joy!

Maryam 💛
