The 20 Year Cycle


Your age.....................................Your new age
  • 17........................................17

  • 25........................................5

  • 39.......................................19
  • 44.......................................4

  • 62.......................................2

  • 74.......................................14

See a pattern? You have been given something. A time ball. And it refreshes itself every 20 years. Now if you are 19 or under, you stay the age you are. But at 20, something special happens. You start over. You have just been born. And what did you do when you were just born? You let others take care of you. You cried until you got what you wanted. You didn't know how to think of the future so you lived in the present. No worries, no cares.

If you are 35, can you guess how old you'd be? That's right. 15. And what did you do when you were 15? You giggled over the opposite sex. You worked hard to make yourself look good. You did stupid things with friends, and you spent a lot of time playing games and getting lost in daydreams.

And then the time ball reaches age 40 and then what happens? That's right: it starts over again! Back to your ambitious, naive, spirited self.

So take your gift. The time ball works right away: the moment you read this text. Naturally, if you are 21, the time ball doesn't want you to cry until your mom brings you food. But think about it. You didn't worry about anything and you let others help you. So take a load off and rope up with some friends. Life doesn't have to be done alone.

What did you do at age 8? 12? 16? 19? Or rather, what did you WISH you did at age 8? 12? 16? 19? Now is your chance. You are no longer a middle aged lady in a mid life crisis and you are no longer a failure of a man who chose the wrong major and wrong job years ago. Today is your chance to change that. You are now naive and ambitious, so shoot for the stars :)
