A lot of these posts, while I appreciate the gratitude and they're great, don't seem to show the gratitude for the seemingly bad circumstances or those less than ideal. I am insanely lucky for my strait, white male privilege. But I'm lucky for every disadvantage that taught me empathy and patience with those not so lucky. It taught me that manifest destiny may be present in our lives, but it's value is to help connect and help those whose life didn't go the same path. I think gratitude is a truly differentiating factor when interacting with others. My merit means nothing if it only exists to serve me. Meaning is found by leveraging those strengths for others :)
