Resistance is the greatest force working against the force of unconditional love (or goodness) for our-self and the-highest-good-for-all. This statement only requires your good discernment and not pointing out the obvious. If we don't have a feeling to resist, then there must be something to learn from the experience. What doesn't kill ya only makes you stronger right? Either way there is something to learn.
There is a statement: What we resist persists. It is so true. If we don't face what we're afraid to face, what we're afraid to do, what we hesitate to say, the pain we don't want to feel or cause... We're prolonging the inevitability of whatever it is our subconscious, or heart-intelligence, knows "we need" in order to have a greater awareness into our-self.
Years ago I had a dog I loved very much. One day he, for the first time in his 4 years, altered the trail we walked on everyday. For two weeks, I followed him to a pretty tree in a field along the woods, and we'd sit there for awhile each day. He immediately started digging a hole and would dig a little each time we went. He and I even got to spend a night there beneath the stars and moon.
After those two weeks an extremely traumatic experience occurred that I'd written about in a book I'd once thought I'd finish and publish. The bottom-line is when a third vet told us he'd never again live the wonderful life he had (knowing we had to euthanize him) I told the vet I knew exactly where we'd make his grave, because it seemed as if he chose it. The vet told me I was fortunate to have realized this.
Not the importance of where, specifically, to dig the grave. The awareness to piece together reality into a spiritual learning. It turned out to be the only place we'd ever been able to dig a hole big enough for a rat, let alone a 70+ pound dog. The grieving was intense, yet growing awareness aided my healing rather profoundly and relatively quickly.
Yes, I resisted plenty then and since. If I find my-self resisting something today, I'll try to look a little "deeper", face it, and make a decision either way. And I know who I am, and I know I'm here on earth with human qualities, and I know it's my choices that create the reality I live, and I want to continue to learn more about my abilities, and I want to continue writing another day.
Always ~ LL
