“I always keep moments that were defining for me in my past and challenged me in my past - from getting evicted out of my apartment when I was 14 years old, to being cut from the CFL [Canadian Football League] and only having 7 bucks in my pocket, to bouts with depression - I keep moments like that very close to me because it continues to be great motivators for me. It helps keep me grounded, and it's a good reminder of how things work, and I never want to go back to that.” WantYearsMomentsHelpingPastCuttingFootballLeaguePocketsApartmentGroundedRemindersDefiningBucksMy Past Author:Dwayne Johnson
