Meaning
This reads as a neat distinction between convenience and character, between doing the right thing when it is easy and doing it when it is not. It can be taken to mean that discipline and maturity appear when duty still guides action even against mood or desire, which lands in work, parenting, study, or any commitment that cannot wait for perfect feelings.
