Why Readiness Is a Lie

 

Hello friends, and thank you for being here today. I want to talk about something that quietly holds so many people back without them even realizing it: the idea of readiness.

Here’s the truth—there will never be a perfect time to start moving toward your goal. The belief that you must wait until you feel ready, prepared, or perfectly aligned is one of the biggest lies we’ve accepted for far too long. Waiting feels responsible, but more often than not, it’s just procrastination dressed up as planning.

I’ve discovered through lived experience that the only real time to start is today. Not tomorrow. Not when conditions improve. Not when confidence magically appears. Now.

If there’s a dream pulling at your heart, begin right where you are. Quit planning the plan and get going. There is always something you can do right now that will move you forward.

Is it getting up 30 minutes earlier to meditate and then exercise? Do it.

Is it studying for 10 minutes a day? Do it.

Is it saying thank you when someone does something kind for you? Do it.

Is it making your bed when you wake up? Do it.

Don’t wait to think about it. Action creates clarity—not the other way around.

When you stay ready instead of waiting to get ready, you train your nervous system to respond with action. You break the habit of wasting time and reinforce the identity of someone who moves, even when it feels uncomfortable. That discomfort isn’t a sign to stop—it’s a sign you’re growing.

This is how I live my life. If something needs to be done and I truly want it, I don’t wait. I act, even when it feels inconvenient or uncomfortable. And every single time I take action, I feel better, stronger, and more aligned.

Momentum builds confidence. Action builds belief.

If you’re ready to elevate your approach, stop overthinking, and actually get things done—with support, structure, and accountability—I’m here to help.

Take That Step and Trust God

 

🌟 Take That Step and Trust God 🌟

By Maryam | Maryam’s Joyful Life

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.
