It's Week 23, and you don't need a pep talk anymore. If you're even considering quitting at this point, we can't stop you. But you'll be starting back at square one, and who has time to waste 22 painful weeks of their life? The home stretch is often the hardest – so close, yet so far – but if you're ready to put aside any remaining doubts once and for all and are starting to get psyched about the life that lies beyond that 28-week finish line, it's time to clock in for Week 23's work.

It’s a well-known fact that if you tell people what you plan to do, you’re more likely to follow through with it. What would feel better: Bragging to your friends that you committed to something really hard and then having to admit that you quit when it got too tiring, or winning the confidence to say you’re the type of person who follows through on promises they make – even in the toughest moments?

If you need some inspiration to continue being an example for your community, check out the #Project300 tag on Instagram to witness the Spartan warriors who REFUSE to quit – not only because they have the discipline that keeps them going, but because it says a lot about your integrity to consistently follow through.

The blueprint is always there. Use it.
