More on Being Grateful

A month ago I shared a piece on being grateful.   In that piece I  made a statement  regarding  people who lack gratitude  never being  truly happy. Successes for them are often not  enjoyed. Tasks are achieved and it’s on to the next.   When failure occurs this can result in feelings of bitterness, anger and discouragement.

This really hit home to me with last week when I read that Film Director Tony Scott committed suicide by  jumping to his death from a bridge [8/19/12] despite the fact he had a string of hit movies to his credit, a wife and kids, and a home in Beverly Hills.    It made me realize that being continuoulsy  grateful for  what you have  and happiness is a matter of personal choice and perspective.
