13 successful women share what they're most grateful for – and it's not what you'd expect

From rejection to hitting rock bottom, gratitude can be felt for a huge variety of reasons 

If you regularly write a gratitude list to remind yourself of the good things in your life, the same points likely come up on a weekly basis – your family, good health and the little luxuries in life.

Ahead of International Women's Day, we wanted to know what the most successful women we know are most grateful for – and their answers were not what we were expecting.

Rather than their stellar careers and glittering achievements, the women we spoke to, from brand founders to TV stars and doctors, gave deep insight into their gratitude list – and left us feeling seriously inspired.
