Build a muscle

One of the biggest takeaways from ịdị committed to gyming bụ that it builds your will and tenacity. At first you don't see it, you think na the person na-ata ìgwè and their muscles are growing but each day ha gymchara, ahụ akujichaa ha, and the decide to show up the next day, a different muscle na-egrow stronger, a muscle you cannot see - their will.

Going against ihe your body chọrọ, the easy things ọ chọrọ, to give it ihe ị need iri builds your will. Ọ bụghị a pleasant experience but before ịmara ihe na-eme, you become that person that says you want to do something and you get up and do it. Isi you don't want to do something again, ifu yourself ka ị kwụsịrị ya because your will has been trained.

The wonderful thing about building the will bụ na it is not a must na ị ga na-ata ìgwè to build it. All you need is to pick something your body does not want or want to keep up with - a habit that benefits it or at least doesn't harm it then ị mee ya repeatedly. It can be small things like ịṅụ sọ mmiri ejughi oyi. It can be iraghu ụra at a certain time. It can even be isa ahụ abani whether or not you have the strength or isa ahụ with mmiri oyi. These things, when you can do it over and over makes your will formidable.

It is the same logic as mortification ndị Catholic nwe. You subject your body to some sort of sacrifice of its natural wants of pleasure to make your will stronger. At first you don't see it mana before you know what is happening, your will a ghọọ mgbidi.
