: where is this from?
It's from a song of "the life of brian" (Monthy Python, british comedian ensemble), sung at the very end, when brian, mistakes for the messiah, is being crucified.
it means as much as: take it easy
I think the expression could be derivated from: always look back at the bright side of your life, thus meaning: in times of trouble, don't remember the mishappenings and bad events you've had in your life, but remember the funny, nice and happy times you have had. remember this good things. stay happy.
AND
dont be a pessimist, if you are in trouble, try to find something good in all the chaos. There is always a light.
