What have you been doing all this while that you suddenly feel your life is nothing to write home about? 🤔

Oga you brought data to write this, you created a livelihood for so many people indirectly. This morning I saw some of the goals I
I wrote down and saw the 100 of millions I attach to each goals, fear just catch me and I asked wtf happened to me. I didn't even achieve one of those goals, but I am hopeful they would come to life. As long as you are healthy and alive, they are a billion reasons to be grateful.

Tightpussy2024:
Even at 100.

People that say it's impossible are sore losers

Your moniker brings some funny memories to me, LoL 😂

best time to start life, just find one relax location go and start a sweet life

Manculated:
✓ It is well with you comrade.
I suggest you go for spiritual cleasing in a very remote area if you know one.
Afterall, You can then choose to learn a skill or trade. Dedicated at least twelve months to this course. I'm certain you will experience breakthrough.
You will marvel if many successful people in Nigeria tells you "TRUTH" what they did and went through before they become successful.

And how would this spiritual cleansing somehow change his current state?

Talk to Me am listening

Same with me here bro am tired of life self, am 40 but nothing is right with me

MatrixCircle:
Even at 50 you can start all over. I have seen 55 starting all over and still made it. Age is just a number. In Uk I have a friend from Zimbabwe 70 years old still actively working and just had a baby with a 25 years old wife. Strong and healthy.

😎

Nnamdipapa:
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.

In all the names you listed, I didn't see a single black African not to talk of a Nigerian there.
What could be the reason sir?

Lie that you were not rich before.

Lie that you've not enjoyed good money in this life.

Lie that you did not have a good job or thriving business before.

Lie that you were not living a comfortable life before.

I can swear with my sweet breasts that you enjoyed life in your younger years. Enjoyed good money. Probably even travel outside Nigeria.

Everything suddenly turned sour due to unforeseen circumstances and now you want to go into Depression.

Oya lie.

We take life too seriously at times…
There’s no formula to it, there are no rules to it…

Go and watch the curios case of Benjamin button

Yea. You can become anything you want if you set your mind at it. The only impediment is YOU. Yes, there will be some discouragement on the way, but if you want badly you will get it.

at 60, one can still start a new life and besides, everyday is a new day for a change to be made.....that very moment when you can start life all over again is that very day you stop breathing.....So don't look ur self down....you can bounce back sir.

killuminati:
NnamdiPapa, no give up ooo. If you give up now wetin Nnamdi go come do?

My brother, na fight till death. No giving up. It is better to try and fail than giving up without trying.

Ouchbabe:

Those where the ones that came to mind. I am not very familiar with the Nigerian environment.

My brothers and sisters. Rest biko. Just get something legitimate to do and let God do his thing. One year is enough to turn things around and make you turn to wonder for many. When there's life.. There's hope.
