In order to make something stronger, one has to use willpower and actually do things to increase strength. 

In order to strengthen your brain, you have to use it. In order to make your biceps pop you have to lift things. 

But beyond exercise, the chosen movement should challenge you. 

I feel I am testing my patience with simple forays into the world. Sometimes I want to avoid it all, but at the same time, how can I practice patience and lose my reactionary habit if I never expose myself to little things that could annoy me. 

If I try to block out things that annoy me, I won’t develop the strength to handle annoying things, and as we all know, annoying things will always be part of life. Time to continue practicing the right reactions.
