How to train your will
The will does not appear on its own: it is formed in small decisions.
Every time you choose what is best instead of what is most comfortable, something strengthens within. You do not need to start with huge gestures.
Fortitude is trained in everyday life: getting up when you should, keeping quiet instead of complaining, finishing a job, giving up a whim. Small things also build character.
The will strengthens like any habit: by repeating good choices when they are difficult. Small victories prepare you for decisions of greater weight.
Key idea
The will grows when you choose the good even when it costs you.
Your challenge for this idea
Give up something easy that you feel like doing today. Choose something better.
