Episode 297: The emotional gym

Developing an emotional virtue (patience, compassion,
forgiveness) is not much different from strengthening a physical
muscle. You have to put in the reps with some degree of
intentionality. The main difference between the two practices is
-- while you go to the physical gym -- the emotional gym comes to
you. You do not get to decide when you're in the emotional gym.
You only get to choose whether to exercise while you're there.
Through this lens, the frustrations, disappointments, and
betrayals in your life become the weights you lift to build
emotional strength and resilience.
