If you want the real answer:

I live my life by setting up targets and being stubborn until I hit them. The trick is to be slightly but not extremely unreasonable about the goals and to place them in reasonable sequence such that they're actually achievable. "Inspiration" doesn't really come into play because I feel like that's ephemeral, the kind of masturbatory thing that leads people to dumb TED talks and self-loving threads on /fit/. I know what end goal I want, and I grind away at the process until I get there, actual talent be damned. Grinding is not fun and does not come with cute little inspirational messages, it's fucking ECA stacking so you can stay up until 4 AM studying for a personal trainer exam because you want it despite never intending to use it.

In terms of clothing? It's always been a desire to look good combined with a desire to be somewhat professional. That means I have zero desire to be avant garde in style, I just want to do what I do well. That's why I like designers like Tom Ford - he takes basic suiting and does it so fucking well that it's impressive in execution. It's also why people (rightly so) criticize me for being too "/mfa/" or "dadcore" or whatever - I'm always going to recommend outfits that are pretty goddamn obvious, albeit maybe tailored better. I wouldn't be caught dead in streetwear because it doesn't serve the ends I have or the crowd I associate with - it isn't an upwardly mobile form of dress.
