On the other hand, motivational and inspirational things tend to show us that anything is possible. When we see shows, talks, books where an underdog does something big, we put ourselves in their situation and it motivates us to work harder.
I think getting older contextualized this for me. Not everyone doing a 'thing' is inspirational to me, because I realize that some people's constraints/advantages make things that seem implausible to me, quite logical for them. I also extend this to my own story when people younger ask me 'how did you do it?' and I have to explain so much of it was timing and luck.
