For the first time ever, John Cena very much wanted us to see this.

The Cenation Leader celebrated his birthday today and took to Twitter with a series of motivational tweets that focused on his incredible three-decade fitness journey. Cena discussed how his appearance today is the continued result of incredible hard work, not being deterred by failure and, of course, never giving up.

See the full series of Cena’s tweets (and that mega-impressive physique) below!

Turned 42 today. Shot these and realize that by sharing I open the door towards ANY comments you have. But I share these for the message within them. WE ARE THE SUM OF OUR ACTIONS. 42 is usually a forgettable # but it’s special for me......... pic.twitter.com/CpAsDgbGYj

...I found my passion for fitness by beginning a dedicated workout/nutrition program at (yes this is correct 😳) age 12. This year I celebrate 30 years of chasing the unattainable, and never giving up. 30 years of pushing beyond limits, never giving up.... pic.twitter.com/mUCQszf1zI

..30 years of overcoming failures, literally facing the man in the mirror, and knowing that growth will come thru pain and discomfort, and never giving up. Find your passion. The thing you can do for 30 years and hope for 30 more. And chase it. With the “best you” everyday.... pic.twitter.com/s9lkx5KMd4

..and never give up! No matter what you chase, it is NOT easy, even when you enjoy it! Because we all have good and bad days, embrace the good and fight like hell thru the bad. Never give up. 30 years. Straight. And I’m just getting warmed up! Own Your Everything! pic.twitter.com/4s0CtcpPaD
