Do you have what it takes?

As this is my first post since starting this blog again I guess I should ask that question.  I didn't have what it took!  I didn't really want it bad enough.   Its so difficult to know if you really are ready to go the distance.  I finally got there In January of this year.  Everything just came together perfectly.  I had the right amount of motivation and the right amount of disgust with where I was at and this time it stuck.
