                                            Obedience

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

           James E. Faust

At first being obedient can be a hassle. It isn't something you're used to. At first it can be an “irritation”. This is why he says this. You can find it hard to do the right thing and be obedient with it. Overtime it’ll become easier. When you stop thinking of being obedient as a bad thing and start thinking it’s good, it will bring good things. It will start paying off. It can bring you things like material things but it can also bring you knowledge. It will bring you farther in life. It can take you to a peaceful and happy mindset. For example, being good in your job can bring you a higher level or it can bring you more friends. It can also bring you happiness, knowing that you’re doing good. This is how it will become a building block.It will bring you higher up. Not being obedient will only bring you down. It’ll just take you lower.
