No, we cannot be happy doing things we don’t like. Happiness is about fulfilling and enjoying every moment. If we make things we don’t like, how can that moment be an enjoyable one? It can’t.

In that case, we might wonder why would someone do something without enjoying it? And the answer is simple: sometimes the only way to survive is to do things we don’t enjoy. In Miami’s we have a lot of examples. Cubans and Venezuelans escaping from totalitarism and doing crappy jobs in order to survive.
