 I went through a period of time when I was rather poor. During that period of my life, every time I pulled my truck up to the gas pumps, I would have to fumble through change just to come up with a few dollars so I could get a little gas in my tank. I soon came to the realization that success would mean I could pull up to the pumps any time and get a full tank of gas. It might not seem like a big goal, but at the time it seemed very lofty.
