“We always talk about followers, how many people are following me; I just think it’s important, and I obviously can’t speak to everyone because there’s not enough minutes in the day, to let someone know you’re there with something as simple as hitting a ‘follow’ button.

“I can do a few minutes at a time if I’m traveling in a car or have a few moments to myself or just cracking a message for the day, I can follow a group of people who my message resonated with or they’ve been following me for a while or they see my positivity and motivation.”

John Cena has approximately 13 million followers, and he follows back over 240,000. Not a lot of celebrities follow back their audience at such a volume.

“I’m very grateful for everyone who looks at those messages because it’s why, among other things, those two new books are out because it’s almost like a greatest hits or culmination of Twitter journaling. I think following and listening to folks and just recognizing their existence is as important, if not more important, than people following you.”

“I also use it like a daily journal. It’s very much on my mind that I should be accountable for what I say. A lot of the existence on social media is brash, abrasive, argumentative. And I think it’s that way to give the lack of accountability and say whatever we want and not be held accountable for it. To me, it reinforces my self-worth. If I reach anyone, that’s great, but I do it for me.” H/t Bleacher Report.
