Learning to embrace the resistance you experience from other people can be hard. It is especially hard if you are really excited and motivated by the changes you are making to your life. Unfortunately, you will experience resistance as you start to implement changes in your life. Dealing with this resistance is the first step to becoming an effective change agent.

Embracing that resistance can be hard, if like me, your gut reaction to other people’s negativity is to “push back. However, if we’re going to move forward in terms of healing and acceptance dealing with resistance is something that we’ve going to have to learn to do.
