This quote is saying that it is during the times when we are overwhelmed with doubt that new opportunities and ideas appear. It suggests that in order to be able to appreciate the good times, we must also be prepared to experience the bad times. In a way, feelings of hopelessness can help us to appreciate the good times and give us hope for the future.
