Congrats OKCPA...I agree with your analysis. There are so many reasons why you "can't" pass if you are willing to open your mind to those things.
Determination was key for me getting over the hump. My journey was 2 close fails on REG so I switched and passed BEC first try, back to REG and passed, then to audit and passed the first try. Then came FAR....6 attempts later and one more go around with BEC I'm licensed.
There were moments where life's circumstances made me feel like I would never pass FAR but I never bought into those things and resolved that I would be a CPA no matter the hours, effort, or stress.
