Sparsy:
But why is life like this?

In all these heartbreaking occurrences, I'm always compelled to ask if God is watching?

There's more than meets the eye.

The universe is governed by some strange and mysterious entities that we are yet to understand.

hahaha just watched the full video online what year is this. Am sure the lady singer should be well over 60 years old today. Jealousy is indeed the root of all evil

Empiree:
Jesus is very proud of you my friend. I am sure Jesus would support Israel for starving Gaza and laying siege on them.

Hallelujah!

What i just want to say is this and I am in no way trying to offend anyone. I never accuse whites of racism anymore! Never.....I'm not saying there aren't white racists, I'm just saying it doesn't really matter now does it? Why you may ask? Black treat each other worse. That is a fact ...in this life there are just good or bad people. Regardless of race , creed or color. I've been treated way worse by my own "color" than any white or non black person. So while racism does exist, I don't think it's any worse than tribalism, colorism,....like I said only two kinds of people, good or bad. This is just my simplistic opinion.

As long as you are alive, yes!

Let me hit you with some real stories of people who started late and still crushed it.

1. Colonel Sanders - The Chicken King

You’ve heard of KFC, right? Well, Harland Sanders didn’t start frying up that finger-lickin' chicken until he was in his 60s. Before that? He was a failed salesman, a gas station owner, and had about a dozen other gigs that didn’t pan out. At 65, with his recipe and a whole lot of determination, he started franchising his chicken business. Today, KFC is a global phenomenon. Imagine if he’d thought he was too old to try.

2. Vera Wang - The Fashion Icon

You see her name on luxury wedding gowns, but Vera Wang didn’t design her first dress until she was 40. Before that, she was a figure skater and then an editor at Vogue. She thought she’d missed her shot in fashion design, but clearly, she hadn’t. Today, she’s one of the most respected designers in the world. It wasn’t about her age; it was about her passion.

3. Samuel L. Jackson - Hollywood's Coolest

Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his big break until he was 46 when he starred in Pulp Fiction. Before that, he was doing small roles, battling addiction, and trying to find his way. Now? He’s one of the highest-grossing actors of all time. Age didn’t hold him back. His persistence pushed him forward.

4. Ray Kroc - The Man Behind McDonald's

Ray Kroc was a milkshake machine salesman well into his 50s when he stumbled upon a little burger joint run by the McDonald brothers. He saw potential, bought them out, and turned McDonald's into the fast-food empire we know today. He was over 50 when he started! He literally built a billion-dollar brand while most people were thinking about retirement.

5. Laura Ingalls Wilder - The Pioneer Author

You know Little House on the Prairie? Laura Ingalls Wilder didn’t publish her first book until she was 65. Yep, 65! She spent years working on a farm, raising a family, and living the pioneer life before she decided to write about it. Her stories became timeless classics, beloved by generations.

So, is it okay to start life at 46? Heck yes, it is. Your age isn't a roadblock; it's a badge of experience. Life doesn't hand out deadlines for dreams. You set your own timeline.

In this life, some people can run, some can walk while others can only crawl, It does not matter whether you run, walk or crawl, My philosophy is to constantly on the move from one point to the other no matter how little.

You’re not too old my friend. You’re just getting started. For me, I will rather die trying to make than to give up.

Go for it.
