The Lions’ career leader in nearly every receiving category, Johnson said he’s content in a retirement that’s so far consisted of getting married, spending time with his 2-year-old son and traveling the globe.

*When you make it to the top, don’t be afraid to walk away, spend time with your family, and travel the globe.

BODY

“Giving up smoking was the hardest one of all — tougher than alcohol and drugs.”

*Today is your QUIT DAY, the day to kick a vice, especially if it’s cigarettes.

SOUL

“I said, ‘Elvis, I’m going to ask you one thing before we part company here. If you die, do you think you’d go to heaven or hell?’ And he got real red in the face, and then he got real white in the face, and he said, ‘Jerry Lee, don’t you ever say that to me agin.’

“I was always worried whether I was going to heaven or hell,”

“I still am. I worry about it before I go to bed; it’s a very serious situation. I mean you worry, when you breathe your last breath, where are you going to go?”

*Before you go to bed tonight, ask yourself if you were to take your last breathe, would you go to heaven or hell.

MONEY

Isn’t taking less and prioritizing winning what we want athletes to do?

*KD chose winning over money. Being happy over a bigger contract. And he’s done it again too. Which would you choose? More money or more happiness?

ENTERTAINMENT

“I became a musician because I got so sick of sending people stuff I was writing and then having them scan it and be like, ‘Yeahhh, it looks good.’ No, fuck you. I want you to hear this from my voice. I want you to pay attention, so I’m going to sing it because you won’t shut it off.”

*Listen to Halsey – give her a chance and see what you think.

FOOD

I was born in Northwestern Pennsylvania and lived in a trailer park. I was raised by very conservative and religious (Wesleyan Methodist) parents. By some miracle I graduated college and moved to Florida. I have been a public school teacher since 1995. I have 7 years until I can retire. I was married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. I remarried in 2017 to Kate - 21 years my junior. Some of my life experiences as a 46-year-old, white American male, will come through in my writing, but the majority of this daily journey will be dedicated to improving myself, and hopefully you as well.
