No hay mal que por bien no venga
Something good came out of it
Me echaron del curro, pero oye, encontré otro mejor: no hay mal que por bien no venga.
Your friend gets fired but then finds a better job a week later, and you try to cheer them up about the whole mess.
Literally "There's no bad (thing) that doesn't come for good."
In practice It means that even if something sucks, it may bring an unexpected benefit later (like a silver lining). You say it to reframe a setback and calm someone down, not to deny that it was unpleasant. It's a classic, old-school proverb used across the Spanish-speaking world, and it can sound a bit "wise" or mom/dad-like depending on tone.
"No hay mal que por bien no venga" does not mean it will get worse before it gets better, bad luck always follows me, nothing ever changes. It specifically means "Something good came out of it".
