Here's what I've learned these past few weeks and maybe, you can find value in this take away and apply it to your own life. Always speak your truth. And when you do speak your truth - do your best to speak with dignity, compassion, respect, poise and empathy. Even when the conversations get uncomfortable - when you approach with respect and care - on the other side of discomfort - is clarity and progress. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for giving me the space to speak my truth. You have my word, I'll always do my best to speak my truth with dignity, respect, empathy and GRATITUDE. That's my lesson I've learned. And the result of speaking my truth is I was just informed, I've surged past and blown by 200 MILLION FOLLOWERS on Instagram and over 300 MILLION FOLLOWERS across all platforms - officially becoming/ The #1 followed man in America. The #1 followed American man in the world. And most importantly, the #1 daddy at home. Love you guys, I always got your back and let's keep rockin' ??? #speakyourtruth #dignityrespectgratitude #thatsoursuperpower ??

Johnson took to Instagram to thank his followers.

Johnson posted the Instagram video with the caption, "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for giving me the space to speak my truth.

And the result of speaking my truth is I was just informed, I've surged past and blown by 200 MILLION FOLLOWERS on Instagram and over 300 MILLION FOLLOWERS across all platforms – officially becoming/ The #1 followed man in America."
