And if you look back on your life, you probably have a tendency to being stubborn in response to what you perceived as being told what to do. And I'm guessing a lot of it could be chalked up to resisting for the sake of resistance, too. How accurate would that be? Because that's the instinctual response of your personality type. Resisting just to resist as a way of having control. Even when it's self destructive or expensive in some other way.
The more enlightened version of that is a realization that instinctual resistance for the sake of resistance is [useful] if it gains you control, but is self destructive or prevents you from accomplishing your own goals.

I started consciously letting go of wanting control and submitting myself to the program which allowed it to work.
