Change Is Linguistic: Speak the Language of Where You’re Going

 What’s up, wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people?

How are you all doing today? I truly hope you’re having an amazing day and not allowing anyone—or anything—to steal your joy. Welcome to I’m Joy for Life. It’s a beautiful day, and I’m so grateful to share this moment with you.

Today, I want to talk about something that has been deeply resonating with me lately: what’s in your language.

One of my coaches often reminds me that change is linguistic. In other words, the words we speak matter more than we realize. When we change how we speak, we change what we attract into our lives—and I believe that with my whole heart.

Recently, I took time to honestly evaluate the words I’ve been using to talk about my goals, my life, and myself. What I discovered surprised me. I realized I hadn’t been as positive as I thought I was. Instead of speaking from vision, I had been speaking from circumstance. I was allowing current results—and sometimes past disappointments—to determine my language.

But here’s the truth: if we want to change our lives, we have to use our higher faculties. We must use our perception, our reason, and our intuition. We must begin to think, see, and speak as the person we desire to become—not as the person defined by present conditions.

When we constantly evaluate ourselves based on our current situation, we recreate the same results over and over again. But when we shift our language, we shift our reality.

I realized that no matter what is happening on the outside, I have the power to change the inside. And the inside always comes first. I can refuse to let external circumstances control my attitude, my expectations, or my words. Instead, I can choose to speak the language of where I’m going—as if I’m already there.

Every word we speak carries a vibration. Every sentence we form is creating something. If we’re always talking about what’s not working, thinking about what’s missing, and repeating old stories, that’s exactly what we continue to experience. Not because we’re bad or broken—but because language is creative.

So I’m choosing differently.

I’m choosing to speak from the goal, not the gap.

I’m choosing to see myself where I’m going, not where I’ve been.

I’m choosing to speak as the version of me who has already achieved what she desires.

And I want to encourage you to do the same.

Stop allowing past results and current circumstances to dictate what you speak and what you expect. If you’ve been in the habit of saying, “I can’t,” I want you to know this: you can. You can, you can, you can.

Your spirit is beautiful.

Your spiritual DNA is powerful and perfect.

There is no limit to where you can take yourself.

My coach often says, “There is no end to where you can take yourself,” and today, I choose to accept that idea fully. I choose to believe that I can create what I want. I refuse to allow past or present results to control my attitude, my language, or my future.

From this moment forward, I choose to speak positivity.

I choose to believe.

I choose to think and speak like I’ve already achieved my goals.

I am going higher.

Better things than I’ve ever imagined are coming my way.

I am successful.

I am abundant.

I am worthy.

Success is my birthright.

I refuse to allow the past to control my future.

From this present moment, I choose to create a future I’m proud of—a future filled with joy, excitement, fulfillment, and freedom. A future created on my terms, not dictated by past failures, other people’s expectations, or old limitations.

So today, I invite you to stand strong with me. Decide what you want. Speak the language of where you’re going. Act as though it’s already done—because you are capable.

Remember this: you are the prize.

The goal isn’t more important than you.

You are powerful because you have the ability to create what you desire.

And it all starts with how you think, how you feel, and—most importantly—how you speak.

Let’s get excited. Let’s be grateful that we have the power to change our lives starting today. And let’s refuse to allow situations, people, or the past to steal our joy.

Thank you so much for being here and reading this today. I appreciate you more than you know.

And if you’re looking for a coach who will walk with you as you create the life you truly want, I’m here for you.

Allow Yourself to Enjoy the Blessings You’ve Been Given

 

What’s up wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people?

Thank you so much for checking out my blog today. It’s a beautiful day, and I’m super excited to be back with another post. Today, I want to talk about something that has been sitting deeply on my heart: allowing yourself to truly enjoy the blessings you’ve been given.

Recently, I had a conversation with my sweet man that really opened my eyes. I was sharing how, whenever he offers to take care of the baby and encourages me to just go do my thing—without worrying or struggling—it brings up a mix of emotions for me. On one hand, I feel excited and grateful. On the other hand, there’s this lingering thought of, “Wow… I actually have time.”

When Blessings Feel Unfamiliar

For so long, my life consisted of doing everything at once—being a mom, running a business, working under constant pressure, and trying to keep up with everything with barely enough time. Now, things have shifted. I have support. I have help. I have space.

And yet, I noticed something interesting about myself.

Even with help, my body still holds onto tightness. There’s this internal pressure—almost like I should still be rushing or struggling—despite the fact that there’s no longer a reason to. That pressure is familiar. It’s what I’ve known for years.

Learning to Accept Help Without Guilt

What I’m doing intentionally now is this:

I’m accepting the help that’s available to me and allowing it to actually help me.

I’m choosing to do things calmly, confidently, and intentionally—rather than from stress or survival mode. I’m reminding myself that I have enough time. I don’t need to rush. I don’t need to operate under pressure to prove anything.

And I’m sharing this because I know I’m not alone.

Breaking Free From Old Patterns of Pressure and Struggle

Sometimes, we become so used to pressure and struggle that when it’s no longer required, we subconsciously recreate it. Even when life has changed for the better, we keep operating from old programs, old behaviors, and old survival patterns that no longer serve us.

So today, I’m calling myself—and you—into something new.

Living in the Present, Not the Past

Let’s choose to live in the present.

Not in past pain.

Not in past struggle.

Not in outdated mindsets that no longer apply.

Could it be that some of us desire more abundance, yet struggle to enjoy what we already have because we’re so used to not having enough? Could it be that the abundance we prayed for is already here—but we haven’t fully allowed ourselves to receive it?

Gratitude, Breath, and Awareness

Today, I invite you to pause.

Take a deep breath.

Notice your life right now.

The life you’re living today may very well be the life you once prayed for—and it is good.

It is okay to accept help.

It is okay to rest.

It is okay to stop working under pressure and start working from inspiration, excitement, intuition, alignment, and power.

Choose Joy Intentionally

As you go about your day today, don’t steal your own joy.

Be intentional about what you’re intentional about.

Notice what you’re noticing.

Allow the help. Accept the change. Embrace the peace.

There is no power in pressure.

There is no joy in constant stress.

And there is so much beauty in allowing yourself to enjoy the blessings you’ve been given.

Don’t let anyone—and especially not yourself—steal your joy 💛

Juggling Baby and Business Without Quitting

 

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.

The Power of Resourcefulness: Using What You Already Have

What’s up wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people 💛
Thank you so much for checking out MaryamsJoyfulLife today. It’s a beautiful day, and I’m grateful you’re here.

Today, I want to share a simple lesson I recently learned—and one I was able to teach my kids at the same time—about resourcefulness, creativity, and choosing a different path instead of the most convenient one.

We were out returning a few items we had sent back to vendors. As usual, we stopped by the UPS store near our home, scanned the QR codes, and had the labels printed. Everything was going smoothly until we got to one item. I didn’t have the right-sized box for it. The employee let me know that if I wanted to purchase a box, it would cost an extra $5.

Now, I could have easily paid the $5—but I didn’t want to. This was a return meant to put money back in my pocket, not take more out. Especially since returns with this vendor were supposed to be free.

So I paused for a moment. Instead of reacting quickly, I thought, There has to be another way.

I told the kids we’d complete the return that was ready and come back later for the other one. As we stepped outside, I looked around and realized there was a Dollar Tree right across the street. I said, “Let’s walk over there and see if they have an empty box they’re throwing away.”

We went inside, politely asked an employee if they had a spare box, and they happily gave us one. I also asked if I could use a bit of tape, and they allowed that too. We packed up the item, taped the box, walked back to UPS, scanned the QR code, printed the label, and sent it off—problem solved.

No extra money spent.
A little walking.
A practical lesson learned.

Why am I sharing this?

Because in life, we often jump straight to the costliest or most complicated solution. We make problems feel bigger than they really are. We stress, overthink, analyze, and delay—when the answer is often right in front of us.

Sometimes the solution isn’t painful or hard. It just requires a small step. A step outside our comfort zone. A step that feels different from what’s convenient.

When we sit too long thinking instead of acting, frustration grows. Time is wasted. Patience wears thin. And the problem lingers longer than it ever needed to.

So here’s my question for you:
What is that one thing you’ve been putting off right now?

You’re standing right there, feeling confused or overwhelmed, thinking the answer has to be difficult. Take a deep breath. Pause. Look around. The solution may already be within reach—waiting for one simple action to move you forward.

Thank you so much for reading MaryamsJoyfulLife today. I truly appreciate you.
Have a beautiful day—and don’t let anybody steal your joy 💛✨

Small Wins That Build Self-Trust

 

There are moments in life when things don’t work the way we planned. Plans fall apart. Progress feels slow. Results don’t show up when we expect them to. In those moments, it’s easy to feel discouraged, overwhelmed, and tempted to shut down. It can feel like stopping altogether would hurt less than continuing to try.

But that is the worst thing we can do.

When things aren’t working, that is not the time to quit on yourself. That is not the moment to stop believing, hoping, praying, or moving forward. That moment is an invitation to respond differently.

Giving up feels like relief in the short term, but it slowly erodes self-trust. Every time we quit on ourselves, we teach our nervous system that we cannot be relied on when things get hard. Over time, that creates fear, hesitation, and self-doubt.

Small wins do the opposite.

Small wins rebuild trust with yourself.

A small win doesn’t have to be dramatic. It can be as simple as choosing to get up when you want to stay down. It can be adjusting your approach instead of abandoning the goal. It can be going for a walk, praying through the frustration, affirming what you desire even when the evidence hasn’t caught up yet.

A few months ago, I experienced setbacks that were hard, discouraging, and deeply disappointing. There were days it felt heavy. There were moments when stopping would have been easier. But I didn’t quit.

I chose to keep going.

I changed my approach instead of giving up. I prayed even when I felt tired. I exercised when my emotions felt low. I went on long walks and affirmed my desires in the present tense, even when my circumstances hadn’t shifted yet. I kept believing while moving.

And because I didn’t quit, I came out of it.

That’s the power of small wins. Every time you choose to keep going—even imperfectly—you send yourself a message: I can trust myself. That trust compounds. It builds resilience. It builds emotional strength. It builds faith in your own ability to navigate life.

Acceptance does not mean surrendering your vision. You can accept where you are without giving up on where you’re going. Accept the situation, but don’t stop praying. Don’t stop planning. Don’t stop believing. Don’t stop moving.

You always have a choice.

You may not control every circumstance, but you do control how you respond. And how you respond shapes your future far more than the setback itself.

My advice is simple and honest:

Don’t let things not going as you desire cause you to quit trying.

Don’t let disappointment steal your hope.

Don’t let delays convince you that it’s over.

Keep choosing small actions that align with the life you want. Those actions build momentum. Momentum builds confidence. Confidence restores joy.

And most of all—don’t let anyone steal your joy. Protect it. Your joy is fuel. It is strength. It is evidence that you are still choosing yourself.

Keep going. Even slowly. Even imperfectly.

That choice alone is a powerful win.

Take That Step and Trust God

 

🌟 Take That Step and Trust God 🌟

What’s up wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people? 💖

It’s nighttime, but I’ve been wanting to post this blog for the past few days. Life has been busy — but tonight feels like the perfect moment to sit down, connect with you, and share what’s been on my heart. It’s Friday night, and such a beautiful time to talk about something that’s been lighting up my spirit: starting a new venture and trusting God through the process.

Thank you so much for being here and for checking out Maryam’s Joyful Life. I appreciate you more than you know! 🌸

A Day Filled with Purpose

Today was such an amazing day for me. I got to spend quality time with my family, serve my community through my products and services, and just truly enjoy the blessings of the day. There’s something so fulfilling about pouring into others, creating something meaningful, and making an impact — no matter how small it may seem.

But here’s one thing I’ve noticed about life: when things aren’t going the way you want them to, the best thing you can do is keep taking action toward your goals.

Sitting still and waiting for things to change on their own only makes you feel stuck. But when you take action — even a tiny one — your confidence grows, your faith strengthens, and your focus shifts back to what’s possible.

🙏🏽 Pray, Trust, and Move Forward

I can’t stress this enough: pray, pray, pray, pray, pray.

Whenever you feel low or uncertain, prayer is the fastest way to rise back up. I’ve experienced this so many times — when I turn to God, surrender everything to Him, and trust His plan, peace always follows.

Because truthfully, without God’s help and guidance, we can’t do anything. So pray first, and then take action.

If you just sit and expect things to fall into place without moving, you’ll stay stuck. Every time I’ve had an idea or dream, I’ve had to take that first little step — and that’s when things start happening.

So no matter how small the action is, take it!

🌱 Keep Moving, Even When It’s Hard

When you take action, something shifts inside of you. Your confidence returns, your focus moves away from what’s not working, and you start seeing possibilities again.

Even if you don’t have all the resources right now, that’s okay. Use what you’ve got and pray that God provides the rest — because He always does. God never fails.

If you’re in a season where things feel uncertain, where you’re trying to figure it all out and it’s hard, I want you to know this: God can make a way. You’re reading this for a reason — and I truly believe God is about to open a new door for you.

So tonight, let this be your reminder: take that step.

Take action toward your dream.

Keep your faith strong.

Trust God, even when you can’t see how things will work out.

Say it out loud:

“Lord, I trust You. I may not know how You’ll show up, but I know You will.”

And as you keep trusting, watch how your situation begins to change — because it will.
