“In my end is my beginning.”

It was good and hard and now it is done. I set out to do CornDiet for two reasons: I wanted to see my poop and I wanted to start my crossing things off my Bucket List.

People incredulously asked us why we did this to ourselves, but to Callen and I the answer was obvious. No tomorrow is guaranteed, and if you really want to do something–do it right now.

Sure , it was ridiculous. Not to mention incredibly immature. But it’s the change in thinking that is important. Is your cereal worth more than your ambition? If you really want to do something, are you going to balk because you’ll lose a few hours sleep over it?

If you answered yes, you’re not going to get much done in your life, nothing that demands sacrifice at least. And the best things in life demand sacrifice.

As what you desire grows more grand, what you’ll have to sacrifice gets larger too. Want to poop corn? Give up food and abdominal comfort. Want to visit Pamplona and Petra? Get a job and save up.

Want to change the world? Get started. And don’t forget laxatives.
