Yes, I agree that it is always important to be grateful to be living at a time (and place) when we have sanitation, medicine and technology.
However, I really find that I personally need to set my baseline higher than what I’m used to in order to have motivation eg to apply to lots of jobs or upskill.
I am frequently grateful for things like washing machines and dishwashers, but when it comes to applying to some exclusive firm or preparing for a difficult exam, I definitely need a different mindset - one which is far more materialistic.
