I find lifting to be an absolute blast. I hope the same thing for you. I hope that lifting becomes really fun and enjoyable for you. Or, if not, that it will become that way very soon.
I am blessed with the kind of disposition that tends to see the good in life more than the bad. I also enjoy enjoying things. I've come to believe that happiness is a choice. You can make up your mind to be happy. Remember, your body craves daily exercise. There is no machine more beautiful, more perfect than the human body. It's ideally suited to movement. So don't ever feel guilty if you enjoy exercise.
Lifting can be fun. Make it so.
