I'm going to share something really personal with you.

I was walking the streets of Toronto by myself on Friday night thinking that I would rather be social and be with friends. Feeling alone and isolated, I asked myself, "Why is it so difficult for me just to be with myself as I walk downtown?"

Some answers came to me. I noticed that the streets were crowded and I was literally bumping into people. Most people see me as being sighted because I navigate easily. You see, when I'm with friends, it is much easier to navigate, because I just follow the big object right beside me. That big object usually helps me avoid hitting things and bumping into people. When I'm walking by myself, it's a different story.

I also noticed that I was hungry and I didn't know what food options were available around me. With friends, they would simply tell me my options, and we'd go eat together. The list goes on, but you get the idea. Thinking about all of this triggered memories of the past, where I would be isolated, eating the exact same lunch everyday in the school cafeteria by myself, and not having people want me to be part of their social circles.

Over the years, I've worked on improving my social skills and becoming a person people would want to be around. That's made such a difference for me in my life, yet I feel that my challenges of the past have just become a lot more subtle. Let me give you an example.

Last week I was at an incredible party. I felt amazing because many people knew me, and many people wanted to talk to me. Then I noticed that when I was in a group of three or more people, other people would seldom look in my direction. Many reasons could explain this. I have trouble keeping eye contact, so some people feel that they shouldn't bother trying. Maybe others feel uncomfortable looking at somebody who looks unusual. The bottom-line is that I don't get that intimate connection during group conversations, as most other people do.

But guess what? I got some good news! These situations have caused me to perceive, to reflect, and to understand the world from a different perspective. When I was in high-school I utilized the time I had by myself by exploring personal development programs which transformed my life.

Unfortunately, I was still quite young and noticed that I was surrounded by much older people, as personal development programs attracted a large number of middle-aged baby-boomers. That wasn't great in terms of helping my social life. I didn't have an opportunity to interact socially with people of my own age.

Today, as I sometimes have my moments of isolation, wishing that I was with friends, I contemplate a new question. I've been constantly asking myself, "How do I take the profound knowledge that has transformed my life, and bring it to people my age -- a younger generation?"

This thought lead me to my mission of creating "inspirational entertainment". That is, entertainment that appeals to a younger generation and has underlining messages of conscious living and empowerment.

I want to introduce you to the next generation of Inspirational Entertainment. We (mostly my super-friend and business partner, Stuart Knight) have produced two new videos, one from a male perspective, and one from a female perspective, talking about the frustrations between opposite genders.

Since the industry within which I work is personal development, some of you on this newsletter list may not relate to these videos in their entirety. Please understand that personal development seeps into the minds of our fellow humans in different ways. It's not always accomplished through a book or a weekend seminar. Not everyone will "get it" the same way you do. With that in mind, we decided to make videos that are tailored to a specific mindset with the hope that these people consider the joy of choosing differently:

Be inspired that the next generation is going to learn,
what you already know, in their way.

And if nothing else, I know that if you forward these videos to the next generation, they will think you are the coolest people in the world!

Disclaimer: These videos are very intellectual, have lots of substance, and most importantly, can cause people to become more conscious of their habitual behaviors insofar as to challenge disempowering socially conditioned patterns. The course language and sexual content are attributes that make the piece real for those ages 18 to 38.
