Meaning
This suggests that gratitude is not only a private virtue, but a way of assigning meaning to achievement. Success alone can feel empty or self-contained, while thankfulness points outward, toward other people, circumstances, and responsibility. It lands when someone has reached a goal but wants that achievement to serve more than ego, status, or applause.
