This quote is telling us that we should not deny our emotions because that will only lead to us feeling depressed and hopeless. Instead, we should trust our feelings and allow ourselves to be happy even when things are not going well.
If we want to be happy, we need to take action. Instead of denying our emotions, we should act on them. If we act on our emotions, then happiness is right around the corner.
