What Psalm 16:11 means
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. The deepest joy is not found in a circumstance but in a location, God's own presence. Everything the heart really longs for is fullest there, which is why drawing near to God is the truest path to lasting joy.
