I’ll never forget it. When I was in high school and didn’t have a car yet, I had a friend who did have a car. One day we went to the gas station and he got 50 cents worth of gas. He paid with two quarters.
Now, gas was cheap back then, but it was still less than a gallon of gas. He sped away with enough gas to get where we were going that evening.
Many people settle for just enough. They fill their gas tanks to E. Because when you’re on “E” you can go a little more and get through a little longer.
Just enough information. Learning just enough. Having just enough energy. Getting just enough sleep. Saving just enough to get through the week. Learning to create just enough value to pay the bills.
Going beyond E to fill your life tank much more is to delay gratification, learn more, look to the future, work harder than is necessary at times, and getting out of your comfort zone.
Let’s go for more than E, and live a full life.
I remember my first car as well. 1987 Honda CRX. It cost me $1500 and I was proud of it too.
Thankful for Jeff Allen, too!
