Simplified Meaning:

The quote talks about the gap between wanting something and actually getting it, which can be a moment of tension or uncertainty. Imagine you're very hungry and you see your favorite food, like a big, delicious pizza. The moment you see it and start to crave it represents the desire. However, before you can eat it, you might need to wait for a few moments or face a small challenge, like waiting for it to cool down or finding a place to sit. This moment of waiting or dealing with the challenge can be uncomfortable, just like a muscle spasm. In life, this can apply to many situations. For example, think about wanting to achieve a goal, like getting a new job. The desire is your wish to get the job, but before you get it, you might have to go through stressful steps like interviews or waiting for a call back. This period can be tense and uneasy. Understanding this can help you prepare for and manage those uncomfortable moments, knowing they're just part of the journey to achieving what you want.
