Thank you for saying that. And with your platform, the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of great friends you have online, I can't wait to see how you bring gratitude to the masses after this. But look, you're watching this, you're reading this, you're listening to this. You saw my enthusiasm just before. That was kind of on purpose.

That's the enthusiasm that American people had in October of 1929 during the roaring 20s where the favorite word was me, me, me. It was live it up and have fun. It was great profits, great family, big new house, great respect, accolades coming in every day. And then it all came crashing down. with a terrifying crack up. It was Thursday, December 30th, 2021.

If you looked at my life, you would have been jealous. I had everything I had ever wanted. But at 4.30 PM that day, I got on a one-on-one call with a client of mine, Lisa Penn. And she said, Chris, you don't look too hot. We should probably end our hour-long discussion. And we did. And I took note of that because that's the first time a client's ever said that to me.

And I went out to dinner that night with my girlfriend to celebrate her new job, our new home, all these great things. I drank too much accidentally. We got in a fight. I got home, felt like a miserable piece of crap, like a fraud, an imposter, a monster. And I engaged in my most recent and largest episode of non-suicidal self-injury. It's called NSSI.

There's a lot of folks that you know who have been through similar things. It's things like cutting and burning and scratching and self-mutilation. Well, my vice is cutting and I like my kitchen knives. That time I flew a little too close to the sun. I'm lucky to be alive. In the days that followed, I was a pile of mush. I would watch Nancy Meyers movies on repeat.

I would cry at the sight of a lemon. I had friends that invited me to all these things, but I couldn't even muster the courage to show up. One day I was on the phone with my buddy Scott and he said, Chris, you just got so many things going on in your life. He couldn't see the clearing through the forest. And I said, my God, he's so right.

Sometimes in life, we involve ourselves in so many things and we program ourselves only to see the bad, never to appreciate the good. And you're probably going through that right now. And I got to tell you, you're not alone. And it's nothing new. Humanity has been plagued by this for many, many years. I mean, you look at the books on my shelf, I'll point at one book written in the year 63 AD.
