Gratitude is a great leveler of experiences. When we can get to the point where we are grateful for all our experiences, "good" and "bad", we've come to the point where we have moved beyond our personal perspective.
Our personal perspective colors everything according to whether it is good for us, or bad for us, or fits what we think is "right". But actually, everything, ultimately, is good for us, even the "negative" or difficult situations. Many times, difficult situations, like a job or relationship ending, are actually blessings in disguise. Challenging experiences usually bring essential life lessons.
When we learn to be grateful for all the ups and downs, we get a whole new picture of reality. We no longer are subject to judging our life as successful or not, happy or not, because we realize that every experience brings us closer to our ultimate goal: creating a more loving world for all.
