I'm curious where you picked up the insight about gratitude. It reminds me a lot of insights found in stoicism, which I've long enjoyed reading about. But recently I have been perusing "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", and finding that a huge amount of it also strikes me as being just mass-market stoicism. So it has made me curious whether it's a direct influence, or whether it's just a case of multiple people or philosophies coming to basically the same conclusions independently. So I'm curious whether your philosophy of grateful contentment for what you have comes via a direct influence, or was arrived at independently. In any case, it's an excellent practice, but one I nonetheless often have trouble executing myself :)
