“Inner resistance to what arises creates outer resistance, therefore releasing inner resistance allows the outer to also release.”
— Eckhart Tolle

Simplified Meaning:
When you fight against your own thoughts or feelings, it ends up causing more problems in the world around you. For example, imagine you have a big exam and you're really anxious. If you resist that anxiety and try to push it away, you might end up so stressed that you can't focus on studying or even doing well during the exam. However, if you accept that feeling of anxiety and try to calm yourself down, the stress lessens, and you can concentrate better. This idea can be applied in many situations in life. By accepting and dealing with your inner emotions, you can handle outside situations more smoothly.
