Meaning
This line points to a chain reaction in inner life, where attention to what is already present softens dissatisfaction. It can be read as saying that thankfulness is not passive, it grows into gratitude, then contentment, and from there a quieter peace. It lands in ordinary moments like a difficult week, when naming small good things can change the emotional weather.
