Turn a corner
True happiness steals upon you quietly. It arrives when goals and projects have departed. It arrives when both excitement and boredome have left. You turn a corner and notice the sun streaming into the room, and a feeling
of well-being and quite joy arises.
In this paragragh, does 'You turn a corner and notice the sun streaming into the room' mean If you change your thought or mind you can be enlightened? I wonder if this expression is often used.
Thanks in advance!

I found this is no metaphor after reading more context. The author just says the joy of seeing sunglight in the room. Thanks Mister Micawber!!!
