I’m 41 Years Old and STILL Learning Hard Lessons | Here are 4 of Them

[@karakarakarakara]

Every time Maya brings up her spiritual life, it makes me happy!

[@shamelessmaya]

I could talk about it all day 🤣

I just turned 40 this year and am learning to lean on God more and more. Happy 41 birthday to you 🎉

[@shamelessmaya]

Thank you boo! and same here!

[@BenjaminMutuku]

What a gem of life lessons in our 40s. With social media and the fast life, it’s been challenging to focus on self and self reflection. One of my biggest life lessons is that what people think of you doesn’t affect your life (if you don’t let it). I just don’t care as much about what people think about me. In my 20s and part of 30s, I cared too much about that. Not anymore. It’s so liberating. Thanks for sharing. Hope you post more content.

[@shamelessmaya]

It’s freeing letting that go! These days I’m concerned of what God thinks 🙏🏾✨

[@WildWorldOfBooks]

Currently in my mid 20’s, haven’t had any relationships nor casual ones. Struggled with that a lot. Not because it bothered me specifically but because I looked at those around me at my age and felt as though I wasn’t experiencing and missing out on what they say was “enjoying your youth”. I don’t want to put myself in situations for the sole purpose of relating to others. So, I’m in the season where I’m learning to trust that God is more than enough in my life and whatever will come when it comes. I shouldn’t be too concerned about how others are living and focus on living the best life that I can through God.

[@shamelessmaya]

GIRL!!!! You are so good! Keep seeking God and pray for a man of God!!! Both in spirit and in word

[@teeb1353]

I am 42 I will be 43 in July , I had my daughter at the age of 25 I definitely don't regret having her in my mid 20s. She is about to turn 17 next month she is my only child. I am a single parent my daughter's father was murdered when I was 3 months pregnant , so I never had the help & support from him unfortunately; I have a great support system with my family Thank God, because it hasn't been easy I have always worked full-time & finished college I did it, but I worked myself into exhaustion. I now suffer with Fibromyalgia and I am fighting for my health so I can go back to work I really don't know how women do it in their 40s having babies because I definitely do not have the energy to deal with little ones anymore, but I love babies they are adorable sweet & innocent. I promised myself I would never have anymore children unless I was married because single parenthood even with a great support system has been hard on me, but I am so happy for you & family I been following you since 2015 when you lived in NYC, I found your channel, and you inspired me. I think you & your husband are doing a great job with parenting keep up the great work I love your channel its one of my happy places to escape in my mind. lol 😊

[@shamelessmaya]

What a life and testimony! Girl give me your name and I will PRAY!!! We need hedges of protection and healing! I don't know how I be doing it but the blessing is I am an energetic person naturally and have to find even more energy to keep up 😂 I can't wrap my head around another one of them . Thank you for sharing here in the comments🙏

[@teeb1353]

Hi Mya my name is Tanesha thank you so much I will also keep you & family in my prayers!

[@deanadiaries3390]

I’m so sorry, lost my husband at 35, had just given birth to our second son, baby was 3 weeks old an my husband got covid and died. Our eldest was 5. 2 years later and being a single parent is hardddddd. I cry every day. Praying for you about your health issues 🙏

[@teeb1353]

@@deanadiaries3390 Thank you for sharing being a " single-parent" has been extremely hard to say the least the emotional, physical, & financial burden has been hard everything falls on me now I'm dealing with a teenager and all that comes with the " teenage age " years. My daughter also suffers because she never met her father & never will, but I put all my trust in God & he always makes away for us. My health issues has slowed me down a lot, but I keep on pushing through my daughter needs me. Sending you peace !

[@MissJhane]

I remember when I used to watch Oprah (the 90s days) she said 20s you make AALLL the mistakes, 30s you see if you learn the lessons, 40s you know yourself more and is okay with who you are, 50s you trully start living. So far 40s I love it and getting closer to God makes it much more meaningful 💕💕. Love theses self-discovery. Trully amazing 💕💖

[@rileystein6195]

I'm 35 in July and it's wild to me that I even got to this point. To an extent, I feel like I never left my 20s. At this point in my life, my focus is on my career and growing financially. There's a lot I want to do and give to my son, so I really need to improve this part of my life. My goal is to be fully in my new career by 40.

[@sailstomars]

My mum has been praying over me my entire life. She is so filled with prayer and turning to God. This has resulted in me feeling so incredibly protected my whole life. Because of her example, I pray too.

[@gracious2gf]

As a 41 year old woman, this was the KZbin video that I needed. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏾

[@Momentsofessence]

Loving this introspective chat in the forest! More of this scenery por favor 🙂I am turning 32 this year and the two most important things I want to aim for are: living out the gospel by treating people with kindness and love and accepting my true identity in Christ. Nothing (not work, friends, or even my past) can define me.

[@elenam9435]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@yoursisesthermeya]

Amen

[@leanita2010]

Anytime you start ministering the true gospel...and talking about prayer and salvation etc. And i get so proud and happy that you are here to represent for Believers! Love you. Please Keep On Shining That Light In This World Girly!❤️

[@keciabrown7455]

Maya having the Holy Spirit for my Teacher is priceless. He has given me the gift of speaking in Tongues and when I pray in the heavenly language I find that so gratifying because the enemy doesnt understand what you're saying and when I ask my teacher to interpret I get clear answered prayers. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Txs. for sharing.

[@fiyinobayanmusic]

Girl I had no choice but to be a prayer warrior in this season! Only God got me through it!

[@shivon.shines]

Amen 🙏🏽, same!

[@jassyramirez9306]

I’m 39 and feel the transition and all these thoughts get the best of you!!! You haven’t accomplished everything you set your mind to do. You are not where your suppose to be at this age. So thank you for sharing your journey!!! God bless you and your family!!!🙏

[@WordsPictures997]

LOVE the language of "being a better listener" vs 'obedient and silent' it sounds so much healthier and makes a lot more practical sense when you say it like that. Thank you for that Maya!

[@shamelessmaya]

I think so too 🤣

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Here for all of this. I’m excited about this next chapter and more so PATREON!! You’ve worked so hard for this 🎉❤ / Max

I can feel the genuine excitement of your salvation whenever you speak. God bless you. 💕

[@BabyLawyer2010]

I am also turning 41 this year and what you said about wanting to pray at night and angels directing you out of accidents is hitting me so hard. Thanks for sharing. God spoke to me through your video

[@user-os3gp6pv5h]

MAYA YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!!!😍😍😍💜💖⭐️⭐️⭐️ also I LOVEEEEEEE the background. ughghhhg so stunning

[@amarouge]

I am here for the learnings and the solo trips! I'm in my late 30s and just did my first solo trip because i wanted to nourish, rest and restore myself and work to my own timeline - not have to consider anyone else in my decisions whilst on holiday. Just do exactly what i wanted each moment of the day. BEST choice ever! This year is about courageous expansion for me, bliss and anchoring into faith and trust.

[@elianasjoy]

Aw Maya, I so appreciate your wisdom through the ages, and your heart for Jesus ❤ Excited to see where life takes you 😊

[@ConsciousMatters]

💯 I love your approach on silence. I have a similar one on patience with the byproduct of LISTENING. I don’t use “obedient” … that word is still triggering for me but I’d say that being patient and listening definitely helps in being more aware, present, and mindful of self and others, even in the words we use. Happy 41 to you! 🎉

[@shamelessmaya]

Trigger word of the season? OBEDIENCE! hahaha!!! We're similar if patience is your season

[@ConsciousMatters]

@@shamelessmaya My eeeaarsss! (in Phoebe Buffay's voice). Well, I guess I have some inner work to do around that trigger word of the season 🙈Thanks for highlighting that for me, though.

[@lisajenkins7692]

hmm. so that's what I said, obedience is a by-product. Agree about the listening part too. Happiness (aka refilling your own cup/self care) is key too. Glad to see you're vacation did the trick.

[@bree.bonnie]

Ooo that 40+ “isms” actually being issues that haven’t been dealt with is something new 🤔 may need to give that some serious thought while still in my early 30s

[@vanillamint7854]

🎉 you're looking gorgeous & your little garden is beautiful.enjoy!#Give thanks 😊

👍💝Awesome commentary and video. You look amazing. Great call to video outside. The outdoor scenery is a beautiful backdrop. The outdoor sounds of nature too. Thanks for sharing your journey. Wishing you the absolute best. 💝

Im 44 and it's been a lot of revelations about life. Im happy for the mindset I have about it now vs my 20s. Its a different outlook that's for sure.

Me too! The weather has been so beautiful in Sweden lately.

[@DavidHernandezLovesYou]

Hey Maya, discovered your page almost 4yrs ago (approx) and I have to say it's been refreshing to witness your journey and your growth! 🙏🏽 My current season is: Betting On Me. After 22yrs of working for others and their companies, I made the decision to start my own business and go for it! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Now, I have my own private practice (therapist) and I'm focusing on making my own inspirational content online 🙏🏽

[@anatashazeegelaar3096]

[@closecounsel9099]

That was awesome.. you've come such a long way. Father God is pleased

[@SaharaKnows]

The mind is never satisfied. It also drifts to wanting something else even when you get everything you ever wanted. Prayer AND workshop

[@LaurenFrancisco]

"It's Supernatural." 🙌🏽That sounds like it's the greatest theme and declaration for your life in this decade. I feel it more and more the older I get, and truly believe words and prayers are prophecies that we declare over ourselves and future generations. We can only imagine the compounded prayers of our parents and so on. Now it's our turn to be that for ourselves and the future. Thank you for sharing!

[@PoSHEmediaglobal]

I am 31 and so excited for what’s ahead 🎉❤

Happy belated birthday Maya.. u r such an inspiration. Will be turning 40 in 3 years and still have those issues that aren't cute anymore. U r so true when u say with age it gets harder and slower to change. Thank you for sharing your life and your faith with so much boldness and authenticity. It is really inspiring and empowering.❤🎉

Yes, 40's teaches us more of the truth about life and what matters and who matters. Such a journey. I'm 43 and I've learned a ton and finally see what's real. ❤

[@binbin9196]

I love the realization that some of the new ways we are seen is a by-product of a new attitude or new behaviors. It’s showing the fruit of the hard work you have done. One thing tho I think we can all make necessary changes at whatever age we are. You just need to be open to seeing that the changes are necessary.

[@lorealdonae]

10 years ago you taught me how to properly take care of my curls. I turn 29 this year and today I learned you’re 2 years younger than my mom! Crazy!

[@davidperrii]

I started watching you in 2014 and you don't look a day passed when I first found your channel. However, I have witnessed you grow so much through the years! Sending all the love and support.

[@breneworld]

What a perfect birthday! Happy birthday Maya :) 🎂🍰 Everything you say is spot on. I too started treating my life differently. 🌠 I like the way Max said about the buttcrack year. I felt like that when I was 39 going into 40. I am turning 42 in July and all I want is for everyone to leave home on a vacation so I can rest at home alone and be a sloth lol. 🦥 Totally relate with you about plans with sick children. We've been like sick off and on since October. Although I am not a religious person, I do follow spiritual practices such as saying blessings and affirmations. I feel like those practices give me a sense of gratitude and hope. 🙏 Have a great day and happy birthday for another year around the sun 🌞

[@7sistersenterpriseinc142]

I am proud of your independence even if you're married. Also, I agree about listening and not interrupting the other person. Whenever I want to give my opinion, I ask the other person if they want me to just listen and not give them my opinion because maybe that's all they want from me. No judgment.

[@_reannawalker]

I'm turning 30 next Monday and thinking I'm getting old 😄. Happy Belated birthday Maya!

[@shamelessmaya]

[@ElsaLoves246]

I love that you do these videos. It shows that you’re reflective and stride to live in the present. Back story, my mom passed when she was 48 years old #LupusAwareness one thing that stuck with me, unlike a lot of my peers I appreciate and embrace the process of aging. I’ve learned that every year has grows and glows but while I simultaneously appreciate the now. As a 33 year old who has watched you for about 6 years I genuinely appreciate this video. I love your honest truth growths and reflections. Keep shinning queen 👑 With love, Elsa

[@nikolawright1241]

The part where you said you lower expectations about certians things, I really needed to hear that. I know I'm still young at the age of nearly 29 but I wanted to do certian things before I turned 30 and most things arent going to happen. You have to accept some things like money, travel, experiences etc will happen when they are meant to happen and I'm trying to teach myself that. It's hard to accept but with life moving to fast it is hard to slow down. Not sure that made sense but yeah.
