John Johnson and his co-host, Dr. Estella joined HOBY ambassadors via satellite from NYC to inspire them to take control, to take personal responsibility for their own lives, their own happiness and their own destiny. John was a producer with the Oprah show and now co-hosts a radio show of his own. Below is some of his thoughtful advice to all. . .
“You are beautiful. Your beauty,
just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Day
after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of
validation of beauty and social acceptance. Get off the scale! I have yet to
see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I have yet to see a
scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to
see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and
contagious smile. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can
admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life.”
“It’s true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful!”

“There were people who went to sleep last night, poor and
rich and white and black,
but they will never wakeup again. And those dead people would give anything at all
for just five more minutes of this weather or ten minutes more of being stuck in traffic, or a full days list of hard work. So be careful about complaining. What you're supposed to do when you don't like something is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. That’s the universal law about change.”

“LIVE TODAY!. Not yesterday. Not
tomorrow. Just today. Inhabit your moments. Don’t rent them out to tomorrow. Do
you know what you’re doing when you spend a moment wondering how things are
going to turn out? You’re cheating yourself out of today. Today is calling to
you, trying to get your attention, but you’re stuck on tomorrow, and today
trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and that today you wasted is gone forever.
It’s now yesterday. Some of those moments may have had wonderful things in
store for you, but now you’ll never know.”
“Friends help each other. A true
friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and
especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the
moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person
be what he really is. I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not
for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. The
opportunity to be ME. Showing me real love. I mean, let's face it, friends make
life a lot more fun.”
