For those who know me, understand that I am an avid Fresh Prince of Bel-Air fan and am able to recite most of the lines on each episode. But today I began thinking about my life and how far that I have came. I thought of some of my personal life lessons and began to recall a conversation of yesteryear (or yesterday) and pondered the question, “What do you need to be successful”?

Sometimes we need to sit on our own tricycle after an earthquake in order to see that message.
