Could someone please help me interpret this piece of the reading from page 89?

 

"The closer he got to the realization of his dream , the more difficult things became. It seemed as if what the old king had said as "beginners luck" were no longer functioning. In his pursuit of the dream, he was constantly subjected to test his persistance and courage. So he could not be hasty, nor impatient."

    The closer he got to achieving his goal, the more he realized that there were more goals to set. The journey through the realization would never really end, so being impatient was a problem.
