You really can change. You can change because you were designed for it. But you’re never going to if you keep spending your time running into the same walls trying to overpower your resistance rather than asking it what vulnerable part of yourself it’s trying to protect. When you don’t listen to yourself you go to war with yourself, both by trying to force your way and by giving up, by assuming that your first approach is the only one available. Learn from your resistance and your pain. The lesson comes to us not from life, but through living.
