Ok, I wrote a philosophy but I just want to make sure that there are no BETTER ways to rephrase this... "Be grateful for life's conveniences, but even moreso for it's hardships."
thanx.

Appreciate the conveniences of life, but be grateful for its hardships.

While I agree with at least two answers, but respectful to not point out any errors in spelling I have to suggest STRONGLY that IT'S means strictly IT IS. There is no other defining point to IT.
Now,,, To address the Q.
The "thought" if it can be defined as a philosophy, is certainly valid, though not original at all, No offense.
The issue as an opinion might actually "work" if not for a major fault in our species,,, "GREED"
Without doubt, hardships are more direct and valid "lessons" than are conveniences, or bounties, but again, as a species we tend to blame HARD on anyone else, while we often ACCEPT conveniences as usual, hence taking them for granted.
I might analogize it this way. War and Peace, Love and hate, seem to be ever present in our species. War drives emotions and economies far more intensely than Peace does, yet it's abstract object is "Kill to gain Peace"??? "Hate" often defined as the opposite of Love, usually leads to deeper levels of itself rather than acceptance, tolerance, understanding, which might in fact lead to "levels of Love."
As a personal philosophy I applaud that you feel it and share it. As a Global FORCE to change attitudes, perceptions and at some point, Actions, it may be idealistic, but no less valid. Be prepared however, as any thinker must be, to accept that you will be disregarded, or rejected.
That doesn't demand you give it up though, and living that philosophy, if it works FOR YOU, is truly all that matters, no matter any others.
Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your philosophy. My gratitude doubles if you are living it. Remember, there are thousands of ways of saying things, but, only a few ways of feeling them. Only you can express what it is you feel. I would go with your original phrase. I will share mine with you.
Show gratitude for the conveniences in life, but, honor its hardships.

Delete the apostrophe from "it's." You want the possessive, its.
