Simplified Meaning:

When things look good or promising, even people who usually can't do something might feel eager to try. For example, think about someone who loves playing soccer but has a hurt leg. Normally, they wouldn't feel like running around. But if one day, the weather is perfect and all their friends are playing, they might feel a strong urge to join in, even if their leg still hurts. This quote is saying that sometimes external conditions can inspire or motivate people to take actions they normally wouldn’t consider. In everyday life, this means that the right environment or circumstances can push us to do things we thought were impossible. If you're waiting for the right moment to start a new hobby or make a big decision, the right time or feeling might just give you the push you need, just like how a beautiful, shining moon might make someone with limited mobility feel like they want to go out for a walk.
