"We are born with some sort of immutable value locked inside of us"

I think I agree with it. Most people have a natural intelligence or artistic capability or instinctive talent or natural athleticism that cannot be learned and cannot be taught, but that can be acquired by diligent perseverance in practice and effort.

Naturally strong people often do now realize how strong they are compared to the standard. Naturally smart people often mistakenly assume that everyone else is equally as intelligent and that their intelligence is nothing special.

Our brains tend to normalize our everyday experience so that the extraordinary stands out more against the background of life.

Nothing is impossible for anyone, but some things will be easier or harder for you because of how they fit with your natural inclinations, abilities, or skills.
