It’s funny how I can watch a character in a fantasy epic push through magical battles and personal betrayals without batting an eye, but then feel totally thrown off when my soufflé collapses or a data model just won’t cooperate. Why is it so easy to cheer for fictional heroes facing impossible odds, while our own small setbacks can feel so overwhelming? I’d love to hear your thoughts on what makes their struggles so inspiring and how we might channel a bit of that resilience into our daily lives.
