Photo of clouds with a silver lining
Every cloud has a silver lining means that even when something bad happens, there can be a good thing hidden in the situation.

The saying comes from the way sunlight can shine around the edge of a dark cloud, making a bright silver outline. Even though the cloud looks gloomy, the light behind it shows that something brighter is still there.

Losing my job was stressful, but every cloud has a silver lining - it pushed me to start the small business I had been dreaming about.
