“Difficulty is inevitable when you start with a large promise”

Simplified Meaning:
When you promise something big, it's normal to face challenges. Imagine you guarantee your friend you'll throw the best birthday party ever. You’ll have to plan a lot, maybe deal with things going wrong, or handle unexpected problems, like running out of snacks or the music system breaking down. The more grand your promise, the more effort and issues you'll encounter to make it happen. This means being ready to solve problems and stay committed to your promise, even when it’s tough. In everyday life, this teaches us to prepare well, stay patient, and not give up when things get difficult.
