My entire life has changed

Come and see what all the fuss is about...

The inner peace resonates through the screen, it's awesome to see Chris. Keep enjoying the barefooted-ness, along with everything else.

I think I might be one of those people that needed to hear this. Thanks for putting yourself out there and sharing ✌️

First and foremost, Getting rid of alcohol is awesome! Proud of you. I am 15 years sober. Used to drink like a mad man. Drinking never had a positive outcome. Since stopping I see things much clearer now. I was also in a dark hole, thought I'd never find my way out. Every one of us has things we have to deal with. Thank you very much for the video. It takes courage to let strangers hear your thoughts. Looking out for others through life is a great feeling. At the end of the day you gotta do you. If you're not happy with yourself, how are you going to make others happy. Stay strong my friend, we're with you!

Hi Chris. You kept me sane with your cardistry and puzzle videos, thank you. Loving Area52 as I loved the X-Files so these videos are up my alley. Stay safe and be happy Xxx

Former alcoholic here, resonates on every level. Not a subscriber of AA, but big on mindfulness and being self aware. Thich Nhat Hanh has some good reads showing that there is more. Sitting with emotions is living in gray space, it is so hard because its much easier to see the world in black and white. Good stuff man, when you mentally level up like this is an unbeatable feeling.

Glad to hear you found your self Chris. Mental health is very important. I've been praying for you. God bless you brother. 🙏

Love that you’re sharing this with your audience. I feel honored to have met you at that retreat and witnessed your experience of all of this first hand. Thank you for all the magic.✨ And for being you.✨💖✨

Life is laundry and taxes. Getting to the next thing is laundry and taxes. The joy is finding people at the laundromat that dance to the same music. Enjoy the journey and the moments standing in line. Have an awesome day, stranger on the internet!

Glad to see you are in a better place. Just remember your audience now, for the most part is not the Area 52 crowd. They may someday get there. But they fell in love with the puzzle guy or the magic guy...they want those videos...don't be discouraged if this new venture goes slowly at first. If you can continue to be happy in whatever you do this will never be an issue. That is easier said than done. I wish you all the best and look forward to the future.

Your catch phase of "LET'S GO!" always energizes me!! I use it often! I have watched you videos for a couple years now and this video hits at an interesting time for me as I just got diagnosed with possible heart issues. Keep up the great content!

I’m happy you don’t create for views or even money but they seem like passion projects. I will always be here for them ❤

Love ya Chris. Helped me a lot in the pandemic. Do what’s best for you.

Thank you for sharing, Chris. The reminder is well-appreciated, and I look forward to continuing along the journey with you. ✌️❤️

Needed this today, simple message be Happy! Thanks Chris

Here's what I'm gleaning from this: The passion was there in the beginning. The joy, the excitmenet, the adventure, all that was there in the beginning. You were doing something you enjoy and started to make a living out of it and it was great! ...until it wasn't...not anymore at least. It became a beast of burden on your heart, your mind, your body, and even your spirit in the end. I think purpose is the "thing". Purpose started being the "thing" you have been searching for and asking about. I think purpose is what you've been lacking internally and stopped seeing on your current path in life. Not to say your current path in life is wrong in anyway; you still create wonderful content that I've been watching for years! But man, if you're not happy with the path, then it's time to travel a new one. It shows how generous and compassionate you are as a human being that you've managed to white knuckle this path you've been on soley because of your concern for others on your team man; and I want to make sure you know that - you have a good heart and the world is better for it. And I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to your staff; that must have been one of the hardest decisions you've ever had to make given how kindhearted you are. But man let me encourage you for a moment: You are so blessed right now for 2 reasons: 1) you are blessed that you were able to notice and recognize how unhappy you are - honestly, not a lot of people can pinpoint the source of their unhappiness, and you have! You've taken a hard look at your path, and realized it's time to step off and search for a new one. Which leads to 2) You are BRAVE. You are realizing that if you continue on this path, you will continue to be a person you don't want to be, and you're taking action! That takes real courage Chris; a lot of people wouldn't be able to fathom taking something they've built, something successful might I add, and lay it down to search inward on a new path into the unknown - somwhere they haven't had to go to in years. And you're doing that! I know we don't know eachother, but I'm seriosuly very proud of you man. This is inspriational, what you're doing right now. Your people will be fine, your finances will be fine, everything will be fine, as long as you continue to follow your heart. The path might look differently and not something you expected, but what you'll receive because of it is the very thing that you had in the beginning of this channel; happiness, and from that excitement, and from that adventure, and from that, purpose, and from that peace in your heart - knowing you're right where you need to be in life. And id I'm way off on this assesment, than I'm sorry you wasted your time reading this lol. But if there was a chance I was even remotely hitting the mark, I wanted to take the time to encourage you anyway. You've been there for all of us over the years and made our lives better for it, and I guess this is my way of giving back to you. Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty, and I sincerely look forward to your future, because it looks pretty bright to me.

This sharing is needed and much appreciated. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. Stay healthy and continue to find every days moments of happiness ... there are often many throughout each day ... we often miss most of them by not slowing down and recognizing them. You are good people Chris ... and for years have brought much happiness, smiles, laughs and inspiration to us ... the ones you don't know ... but hopefully know are here loving everything you offer! Keep being the best you you can be and we'll keep tuning in!

It's amazing that when you put thought to "being in the moment", it stops you in your tracks when you realize that moment is present & always has been. Have to love the POWER OF INTENTION !!! It's mind blowing when its realized !!! Many, many blessings on Your journey ... stay in that positive intention of a free mind , body & soul !!! Many thanks for your contributions , you so willingly share with the World ... enjoy your true self & life overall !!! Blessings

I’m newer to your channel, but I gotta say, THIS right here, the more raw and heart and present video, one of my favs. Thanks for creating it and putting it out there. I’m excited to see where your Area 52 excitement goes! ❤

Thank you for your candor in sharing your experiences! We're here for the ride and excited for where this new phase takes you (and definitely checking out Area 52!)
