No matter the project or effort, resistance is a part of the process. You’ll come across disapprovals and unresolved issues along the way that makes you take pause. It can be discouraging to see less-than-favorable reactions when you’ve worked hard on something, but if you think about it from an objective perspective, this type of resistance can help identify potential problems and push solutions in a better direction.

Being open to constructive criticism and feedback is critical for achieving successful outcomes. And at the end of the day, most resistance comes down to opinions—which differ between people!
