You paid your dues, took your lumps, and pushed yourself to keep on going when others gave up. You kept your eyes on the prize and now that it's in reach, the question you have to answer on August 28th is: do you still want it? If you do, then you will need to reinvest money, time, and energy in order to claim what you've always wanted. And if not? Then it's time to climb down off that mountaintop.
