Short YouTube monologue by Dr. Arthur Brooks urging listeners to practice gratitude not only for pleasant, generative things but also for difficulties; frames hardships as sources of personal growth and recommends being grateful for both in daily practice.
What you find is that real masters who practice true gratitude, they'll wake up in the morning and they'll say, I'm really grateful for all the wonderful, beautiful, generative things that are going to happen today. And I'm also really grateful for the things I don't like today. I'm grateful for those things because I know retrospectively that that is going to be the source of my growth.
