I saw John Cena

A few weeks ago John Cena came to my country for a 'talking tour'. He did a live interview for 30-45 mins then a 30 min Q&A. At one point he spoke about growing up in a household of rigid, stiff love and how he didn't have much family support. He also spoke a lot about why he got into certain hobbies such as the gym or playing sports, how he was treated at school, etc. I found it odd how relatable it was. I could've been saying some of these things to someone verbatim. It was oddly reassuring. But I haven't really had the chance to tell anyone about this. Most may not achieve Cena's level of professional success but I believe people can achieve his level of self acceptance and resilience and persistency. I've found it hard lately (especially coming off a very good first half year where I was feeling good) but hearing Cena talk about the aftermath of his self betterment is encouraging.

The older I get the more I appreciate and respect John Cena.
