Can you give more information? I have never heard this as a phrase. "No lift" can mean no ride (transportation) or no elevator. Why either would mean there would be no gift given doesn't make sense to me.

@comolaflor_ Oh, so kind of like the opposite of no pain no gain?
Like if your mood isn't lifted by an experience than you haven't gotten the positive "gift" from it?

@comolaflor_ Oh, I see, like applying to weight lifting? (I am used to "no pain no gain" usually referring to exercise.)

@SesameBE yes, but it can also be a metaphor
