Author, Steven Pressfied describes the resistance as a force of nature that prevents us from doing work that matters. It’s a repelling force, that’s negative. Its aim is to shove us away and distract us from doing our work.
Any acts in life that reject immediate gratification in favor of long-term growth, health, or integrity, will elicit Resistance.

Below is a list of items that might elicit Resistance in your life:
1) Prevent someone or a group of people at school from bullying
2) Changing the culture of your athletic Program
3) Building an after-school club that helps other people
4) Going on a diet or health regimen to improve your overall well-being
5) Educating yourself on any particular subject
If you are faced with an opportunity to create work, learn, or something that matters, prepare yourself for the resistance. You can fight it. It can be beat. The resistance can be fought with persistence, hard work, passion, dedication, and positivity.
Fight the resistance. Make. Believe
