Shelter, Shower, Food, Friends, Beloved, Work, Love, Understanding... Every little thing that you like to experience deserve to be recognized by yourself. By being grateful and cultivate this attitude toward life you send a clear message that you are happy with these little things that form your life.
Being grateful says you want more of this and you do not take it as granted. But you recognize it has been given to you. Being grateful to the Creator and to yourself, because you have remembered to be grateful.
This attitude brings much happiness in one's Life and to it's surrounding. While you feel upset about what you do not have, do, are, you waste the very things you have, do, are.
Namaste, Steven

Put another way...
Whenever we are suffering, we are asleep. It our task to awaken. When we come across a challenge that upsets us, and makes us unhappy or we perceive that we are injured, we have 'forgotten ' our true nature . We have lapsed into the condition of 'sleep'. 95% of the collective is asleep most of the time. How does one know they are asleep? They 'suffer'. When we suffer we have been given a great gift. We have been shown an area of our being that has 'forgotten', and needs to be brought to awareness. Thus awakened the pain is transformed to Love with our awareness and we become a more powerful light to shine on the 'forgetting' of the world. Our job in this incarnation is to remain Awake as much as possible. This has been termed Enlightenment. How does one know if they have achieved Enlightenment? They have ceased 'suffering'. This the great need of this world. To have the collective Awaken. To have awareness. To cease the needless suffering that ensues as they are sleeping... ... To be grateful. Remember..
Much of the world will get Dinner tonight, after they run barefoot, through the jungle, and catch it with a spear. Then they will proceed to eat it raw. We are pretty high up in order of things.... you have the nerve to complain?
Gratitude, Perspective, Awareness. Things we need to remember to bring to the Table...
