To Lab or Not To ?

Friends,
Its been a long time since i blogged. Blame it entirely on me. I apologise (once again).
I am now at a cross roads in life where its time for me to decide whether I really want to pursue CCIE !
I have tired three times with full steam ahead and have fallen short of labbing even once. Forget passing or failing.
Blame it on lot of circumstances, all of them which I could control but didn't..

Work has never been a problem with me, my manager and everyone else at work & home supports me for the lab. I have world's best of facilities including a free air ticket, visa, hotel accommodation and 3 free LAB attempts....
Personal life has had its UPs not many downs....I am now a father of 2 children and am required to pay more attention to them....

I have had no issues finding time to study....Its the perennial disease which has stalled my career for last 5 years......PROCRASTINATION....I for some screwed up reason love to procrastinate....a lot of it.

I also realise I have slipped into comfort zone at work and at home.. Nothing anymore excites me to run at it and grab it....I don't know how to shrug off this comfort.

Its been a long cherished dream to have a CCIE, a dream now for over 10years. I still dream about CCIE, but fall miserably short of putting it into action for sustaining it till end of the preparation and into the lab.

I need your earnest advice,
DO I lab or let it go... ?
