This is a case for why it’s valuable to have a great dislike for something.

Because, if you dislike something, you want to avoid it. And this desire is a great catalyst to propel you to action.

Action to do something creative.

Action to rectify.

Action to change.

Action to overcome.

Something that I greatly dislike is manually reply to emails. It is something I seek to avoid and automate as much a possible. (Read more about creating templates to handle common emails.)

I am grateful for my strong dislike of replying to emails manually because it has propelled me to take action to save me copious amounts of time.
