The cheerful smile for those who bother you; that silence when you're unjustly accused; your kind conversation with people you find boring and tactless; the daily effort to overlook one irritating detail or another in those who live with you... this, with perseverance, is indeed solid interior mortification.
Don't say, "that person bothers me." Think: "That person sanctifies me."
-- St. Josemaria Escriva, The Way, nn. 173-174
