We were having bright, sunny weather for last more than fifteen days.I like such a weather in winter.And I bet everyone likes sunny and pleasantly cold weather in winter.I like cloudy and rainy weather in rainy season only.
But today I woke up to a cloudy and gloomy morning.A dullness,a laziness engulfed my mind.I felt sad.Even at office I could not work properly.
But now I'm introspecting. Should I feel lazy and dull if something I hate happens?? Why should I not enjoy it.I can't make the weather sunny .I can't make it cloudy and gloomy either.But I can change my perception.if I want to be enjoy a cloudy and gloomy weather, I can.
I have reached a decision.I will enjoy this dull,cloudy weather.It's an experiment.Let me give it a try.
My question to you is, can you enjoy something you don't like??

It is not easy to enjoy thing to whom we don't like, But when it is not in our control to change these it is better to find some way to enjoy. Here nothing in prefect even things we like. Here it is time of awful winter now we have more cold in coming days. We have not sun for last 2 days

@anil02 You are absolutely right.Seasons and weather are not in our control.Seasons come and go.Weather keeps changing.Just because we don't like a particular weather.Better we should better try to like it.What's the Pont in grueling unnecessarily??

@Shivram59 Very interesting discussion and questions! I think, yes it is possible to try find the bright side in things we don't like but if we can't find it then it should be ok. We don't have to enjoy everything we do or have to do nor do we need to dislike what we do or need to do.
For me, if I don't like doing something, then I cannot persuade my mind to enjoy it. But I will try to get it done at least if I have to.

@Shivram59 Oh my goodness. One mask is annoying enough but two....I'm so sorry to know that! It's going to be uncomfortable. But I know why it's meant to be done.

@VivaLaDani13 They say the new varient of the virus is very dangerous.I would prefer to stay at home rather than step out with a double mask on my face.

@VivaLaDani13 Actually wearing a mask is suffocating,but now you have to wear one if you want to be safe.It took me moths to get habituated to it.But now a new strain of the virus has arrived and doctors and experts are suggesting us to wear double mask before going out.For me it will be very very difficult.

@Nevena83 Keep try and you'll learn it. In our life many things happen that we don't like.But we can't prevent them from happening.So when they happen,we become sad.Better change ourselves and start liking them.We have no option.

At times, we perhaps have to think beyond what is around us, persist or may be just focus on what we need to do plus what we can do good.
Since the last few days, I have been feeling uncomfortable due to colder weather but am now trying to adjust in many ways plus mind wise.
Of course, at times we have to try really hard to control our minds !

@prinzcy It takes time to begin liking something you hate.I'm trying to like cloudy and gloomy weather.We all have our own choices.You like cloudy weather,I like sunny.But we all have the same blood - warm and red. But I think we should like any kind of weather no matter it is sunny or gloomy.

You are right its the way we see things or want to see things.
Being from Great Britain we are very much used to those dull grey skies and days so you learn to see another side of it well some do others don´t.

Yes definitely..I will enjoy something which I don't like..At first I will see if it is important for me or not..
If it is important I will definitely enjoy..It does not matter whether I like it or not..
I am giving an example it is good to exercise but not everybody is doing that thing..But if they will know benefits of doing exercises they will enjoy it..
It is always easier to not do something you don't like..
Enjoy what you don't like, if it is your goal, if it is important..
