Gratitude is an under appreciate emotion that few take the time to cultivate. Instead we whine and complain, are envious of others, and want more in spite of having a lot.

I recently used one of those online calculators to determine if I was in the 1%. It turns out that I am...as are most Americans and Western Europeans. Making even $25,000 a year puts you easily in that category.

It is easy to look at the elite and say I want what they have. It is also easy to overlook that there are billions of people out there who would love to have what I have.

Thanks for the post.
