I would like to know what will be the best way to traslate this phrase from European Spanish into American English.
Will be okay to translate as: It is possible to be upset by something...?
Here is the full Spanish phrase:
Puede que os disguste algo que os conviene y ameis algo que no os conviene.

You may not like something which suits you and love something which does not suit you.
I say this but it may be a 'frase hecha' which I have not come across, or an established 'dicho' or 'refran' unknown to me. In which case there may be an equivalence in English. Hence my confidence is only medium.
