“What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size”
— Carl Jung

Simplified Meaning:
When you keep fighting against something, it doesn't go away; instead, it becomes a bigger problem. Imagine you have a small leak in your roof, but you ignore it because you don't want to deal with the hassle of fixing it. Over time, that tiny leak will get worse, causing more damage and becoming a huge issue that costs you more time and effort to repair. The same thing happens with emotions or problems in life. If you keep pushing away feelings like sadness or fear, they won't disappear. Instead, they might grow stronger and affect other parts of your life. It's often better to face and deal with problems head-on while they are still manageable. By addressing issues early on, you can prevent them from becoming overwhelming.
