#TuesdayTalk Take-Aways:

“I was always taught that you should give back.” -Julia Johnson

“Marriage is not 50/50 and it can never be 50/50. If you are each striving to make 50% and somebody falls short, you're not at your 100% that you need to be at. It's about giving 100/100, that way when someone falls short you still have your 100%.” -Julia Johnson, on relationships and marriage being work.

“I have to put this one in God's hands, I can't worry about it. Just let it go.” -Julia Johnson, how she avoids stress.

“You work hard. It's what you do.” -Julia Johnson, on her work ethic learned from childhood.

“Attitude of gratitude.” -Julia Johnson, the quote she would post up on a billboard.

“The definition of a joyful life is one with good health, and enough financial resources to sustain a comfortable life.” -Julia Johnson
