Obedience

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block."

By: James E. Faust

This quote defines that you want to be obedient. When you're obedient, it won't ever be a struggle for you anymore to obey. When you're like at a certain age of seven or nine, it's hard for you to obey rules because it wasn't your goal. To make your own goal you need to push yourself and put in success. That's what James E. Faust is trying to say. Personally, I totally agree with James E. Faust because when you have a goal, you have to start from nothing, but when you achieve the goal, it is now a block now and you make something out of it. And that goal is obedient. Trying to reach your goal will make you work hard but hard work pays off all the time. Being obedient is the goal to/for everything. Being obedient will lead you to success and that's the correct path that you want to take. For example, when you study for a test, you won't struggle on not knowing the answers to the questions. You'll probably be the first one to finish the test because you know the answers. When you don't study for a test, you will struggle and just stare at the paper. And that's where the stumbling block comes. A stumbling block becoming a building block is choosing the right and being obedient.
