Kentucky Fried Chicken popularly known as KFC was started by colonel Sanders after he had retired from active duty. He was over seventy years old when he started with his mother's secret recipe. He never gave the excuse of being too old to start and today KFC is a global chain and a global brand.
I celebrate Caleb Jephunneh. He walked up to Joshua with his guys at 85 years old and said,' ...So here I am today, 85 years old! I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You,yourself, heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.'
At 85 years old, you can start that business, start a new life, never say never. The Lord helping you, you can lay hold on his promises for you.
You will succeed!

MAKING INFORMED DECISIONS
I came across this piece in my archive and I will love to share it. It will position you for success.
Failure is a result of wrong decisions while success is a product of right and good decisions. Your past decisions got you where you are today and your next phase of life will be determined by the decisions you will make in a couple of days.
There are seven ways to make bad decisions. I know you don't want to be a victim of bad decisions; your last experience wasn't palatable right?
1. Make them too fast.- ERRORS AND MISTAKES
2.Make them too slow.- CONFUSION 3. Make them to keep people happy.- MEDIOCRITY
4. Make them when angry or emotional- WRONG JUDGEMENTS 5. Make them alone.- WORKS
6. Make them as a reaction to something- IT WILL NOT LAST.
7. Make them out of fear- BONDAGE.
J. Mason once wrote that 'if you don't decide what's important in your life, someone else will decide for you. A wise person makes his own decisions; an ignorant one follows public opinion.' In this new year, decide to actualize your goals, for decisions will transform them to reality.
You will succeed!
