The world deserves you. Mr Twenty Twenty

October 26, 2009
By Twenty Twenty

“20 years ago I today, I was taken hostage in the Camp Hill Prison riots. It took me years to admit that I had died that night. I died, and it’s taken me the better part of 20 years to be reborn.”

Since then, some of the most important moments of my life have come while Vision Questing. Vision Questing is a Native American thing. It’s where you take a few days, get away from your “ruts, routines and responsibilities” and spend time with “The Divine”.

I have had 4 major Vision Quests since then. They have helped me to heal, to forgive, to forget, and to remember.

“THE WORLD DESERVES YOU.”

If I could share just one message with you today, it would be to take the time to get clear and to get focused.  It’s the only way you get to live your vision.

Get clear about who you are and why you are here. Here on earth, here reading this message.

Get focused on what you want to do with your time here. Do what it takes, meet who it takes, and be what it takes.

It took a few hundred inmates burning down the prison I worked at to help me wake up. It took a hand full of very wonderful healers and warriors to help me get back on my feet. It took a series of mentors and Vision Quests to help me to soar like an Eagle again.

It’s time. The world deserves the real you.

And so do you.

    Hi 20!

    Thanks for sharing this message. It resonates with me on so many levels.

    Plus, you wouldn’t believe the perfection of your timing!

    I’ve previously shared my admiration of the way you live your life. Maybe that day in Camp Hill Prison in some way paved the way for the life you enjoy today.

    And now it’s time for me to gain a new perspective and get even clearer and more focused and live my life on my terms.

    Cheers mate!

    Andy.

    hey Twenty!
    Glad you survived the day and were reborn. Life is not an easy road, but you have helped so many. Sometimes life gets in the way and we do not say what we should, or we walk away because the raw nature of life. But you lead by example… thank you.

    Hey Twenty,
    What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. As long as we smart enough to learn & grow. Its wonderfull how you were able to turn this adversity into such a positive opportunity for your own personal growth. But, what makes you such a great guy is your willingness to share it with others and more importantly to share yourself with others so they can grow as a result of your adversity. I am proud to call you my friend.

    You sure are a good one!! It’s strange it took a prison to free a prisoner, though unpleasent as it was, it was a blessing and a pardon in disguise. It lead you to freedom and wisdom you so share with others. So be at ease and continue to fly with the eagles. Soar my Brother, beyond the horizon lies another dream. jr aho.
