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

Reflection: This quote is very important because James E. Faust a former president tells us that being obedient will be hard at first that it will irritate us but after a while of obeying it will become something that will be like a reflex. Like other things that irritate us for example uniform will be irritating at first but then after a while of wearing the uniform it will be a reflex and you won't be bothered by wearing the uniform. However if you don't you will always be irritated and bothered by wearing the uniform. James does really prove a point here that everything that we dislike that we know we are supposed to do if we do it more often and more frequently then it'll be a habit and you will always be doing the good thing and hate doing the bad thing no matter how easy doing the wrong thing is you will hate it. He says that when you are obedient it will be a building block and there are many different building blocks like responsibility, respectfulness, safety, CTR, kind, respectful and many more building blocks that maybe now you do them automatically. Obedience has to be our goal and once we reach that goal it will no longer be an irritation to us and neither will it be a stumbling block but this will be a building block.
