Thank you for sharing your valuable story.
I agree totally. Quite often we think that resistance is something that happens against, not for us. Something that implies kind of an idleness that serves no purpose but to be broken through. But with this mindset we'll miss the deeper lesson taught by it. Resistance is always there to divulge to us a better, more self-balancing, way of doing something than the thing we feel the resistance toward.
Best of healing to you. :)
