Answer:

Lady Macbeth is anticipating the success of her ambitious plans and Macbeth's ascension to the throne. She wants Macbeth to cheer up because she is worried that his “nature [is] too full o’ th’ milk of human kindness” and his moral qualms will prevent him from taking the steps necessary to make her plans a reality.
