A simple message shared by John Cena had a profound effect on Logan Paul, the social media content creator has revealed. During the latest edition of his ImPaulsive podcast, Paul shared the words of wisdom given to him by WWE's Greatest Of All Time.
He told me this: ‘Comparison is the thief of joy.'
Paul didn't understand what the mantra meant at first, but has slowly figured the message out, and believes it applies to his own life.
I do compare myself to people in the sense that I’m competitive, and I use it as fuel to motivate me to do better... But I’m also wondering if it is the thief of joy. ‘Cause while I am reaching these pinnacles, am I happy doing it?
Cena not only delivers these words to Paul but carries them with him at all times. During an August 2024 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Cena shared that he wears a watch with the six-word phrase inscribed, reminding him to always appreciate himself.
It's not just The Maverick who has benefitted from Cena's words of wisdom. On X, the 16-time World Champion often shares sayings, proverbs, and advice to his 14.4 Million followers. Cena's words on X juxtapose his Instagram usage, where his caption-free images are left open for interpretation.
Cena will kick off his farewell tour next month, with Paul's name being discussed as a potential opponent for the WWE icon. While the pair could soon be sharing the ring as adversaries. Logan Paul will always appreciate the words of wisdom from the former World Champion.
