What does the phrase "that which you resist, persists" actually mean?  How is it significant to you?  What is it that you are resisting?  You actually are resisting a specific outcome, a particular set of events, or a certain feeling.  In other words there is something that you do not want to feel or have happen.  In order to prevent this feeling or circumstance, you then put your energy into controlling it.  Remember the Law of Creation, though, like energy attracts like energy.  If you resist looking at something or feeling anything, it just creates the need for you t look at this or feel this over and over, again.

     Resistance says that you have stored energy.  You have saved this energy by saying "anything but _____________."  The __________ must continue to come into your awareness because you are putting attention on it.  If a parent only provides a child with yelling attention, in the absence of this yelling that child will do things to inspire this volatile energy - just to feel something.  In resistance, your focus even if you think the direction is away from you, is saying to the universe this (what you are resisting) is important and this (what you are resisting) is the order to be filled.  Albeit, your focus would not be considered by your head to be positive, but it is energy regardless of your mind's judgment.  And, remember, the universe doesn't place the same judgments on your energy requests as your head.  It simply fills orders.

     In the Unity movement, I often heard the phrase, "Love brings up anything unlike itself."  This is "that which you resist, persists" in action.  Whatever needs to be healed will come to the surface.  You will automatically draw to you people or situations that pull out whatever needs healing.  I love the fact that the universe works in this manner.  In fact, it is because the universe works this way that I know that you will always end up exactly where you need to be.  You are always in the perfect place.
