Sometimes you just have to enjoy a bad experience.

Most of life is about perception. Events happen around you and you learn from what you perceive about those events.

So I have a novel concept for you gentle readers... Learn to enjoy/make peace with negative events.

I know that is an almost alien concept, but let me give an example. If you dislike sour things like lemons, try eating a lemon and enjoying the fact that you can perceive a difference and therefore choose to dislike sour things, or in other words instead of using the lemons life gives you to make lemonade, learn to enjoy the experience of tasting something sour.

Of course this cannot be done with all negative experiences, so its not the experiences themselves you should focus on, but your perceptions of those events. Instead of letting the death of a loved one drag you into despair, perceive the things they left you with in this life and enjoy those things.

This is a truly difficult concept to explain, and one probably harder to practice. Learning to perceive negative events in a positive manner (seeing a silver lining) is one of the things I would recommend most. This concept will help change your attitude to one that accentuates the positive, and strives to find the good in all things.
