It doesn't mean NOT feeling sad, angry, disappointed or afraid. It's acknowledging the truth of what you feel but not dramatizing it or taking it out on people around you. It's dealing with it in a positive way. To deny the reality of an emotionally difficult situation because you believe you should "stay positive" only causes you to repress your feelings. And over time if you continuously repress, you'll only "depress" and eventually cut yourself off from experiencing the true joy and happiness you're meant to in life. So remember, being happy isn't about always being positive, it's just not allowing yourself to react negative.
Allow yourself to feel it, find a healthy way to express it and then move forward, put one foot in front of the other and just do the next right thing.
