I think you called it a theme, but you went on to explain it was what you wanted the reader to come away with, so I believe we're talking about the same thing. Sure the character must have motivation, as in the literal goal, but what you're talking about is the heart of the story, what it is the H/H learns, what makes them grow as an individual as they pursue their goal. To me that makes a good story great. It sounds like you've nailed it.
