An Ode to Perseverance

Becoming good at something isn't supposed to easy,

Actually, it's supposed to suck... at least for a while  

You have to want it.  

Not just the idea of it, but REALLY want it.

Want it enough to take the first step...

Want it enough to continue when the newness wears off...

Want it enough to stay on task and push through the boring parts...

Until one day you're on the other side

And things fall into place

Suddenly you find joy in your ability

You take pleasure in remembering where you've been

And on that day, you can stop wanting

Because you have it

It's yours
