Question: Do you think what you RESIST will PERSIST in your lives!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes to some extent!. They did a study on dreams and divided people into 3 groups: those who resisted thinking about something (or someone) before sleeping, those who did nothing special and those who consciously thought about it!. Those who suppressed the thoughts dreamed about their target more!.
The same is true in our waking life, with one qualification!. If we work through something, then we can let it go!. That's why they encourage people to go through the grieving process!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you are right when what you resist is a weakness or vice that only you cannot seem to overcome!. Everybody has a tendency like mine is procrastination (thankfully yours is not, of course I am guessing here)!. But that's mine!. And I have to resist this weakness of mine in order not to suffer the consequences of that habit!. So that I am finished early and can move on to the next thing I can decide to procrastinate on or not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

By George, I think you've Got it!
Absolutely!. When we resist, we disallow experiences to run their course!. In so doing, we may repeatedly experience "lessons" over and over again!. Resisting is a lot like denial, in my mind!. When we deny that situations exist, we never really face them, and overcome them--in essence--we halt our growth!. When we allow, on the other hand, these events or situations or experiences have no hold over us!.
Like a rock in the middle of a stream, the water doesn't avoid it, it just flows around it, and keeps on its merry way!. If it let the rock halt its progress, it would become stagnant--but it keeps flowing, and thus stays oxygenated and clean, by its movement!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I just asked a question about passion and pushing it down,,and someone told me that emotions are present,,and when you forget about them they don't exist anymore, therefore they don't get stored in your precociousness to deal with later,,I know that is wrong!.!.and I don't believe that Freud would be proud to hear that, but it temporally made me feel good, sometimes I like it when someone tells me what I wanna hear!.

Yes!. It's about right brain thinking!. The right side of our brains only tries to GET whatever it is we think about!. It does not see the difference between what we want and what we don't want!. It only sees the "mental image picture"!. So if we are thinking about what we don't want, instead of what we want, guess what we get!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

My belief is that we are put in a situation to learn some thing !. In case we keep on resisting to learn we will keep on ending up in same situations in order to complete learning i!.e Persist will exist as long as you resist the lesson :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

It kind of depends on what you`ve resisted!. Was it the kind of thing that could be life changing, or was it an ice cream sundae!? As Einstein said, ``Everything is relative!.``Www@QuestionHome@Com
