"When obedience becomes our goal, it's no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block"-James E. Faust. This quote shows me that when a person learns how to be obedient, it will help them reach their goal. Obedience is important because when you are mandated to do something that will affect you in the future and you don't know how to be obedient, it will affect you negatively in the future instead of affecting you positively. Not being obedient means you don't follow orders and your journey to reach your goal will become farther and farther until you can't even see it no more. What James means by "building blocks" he means that building block will help you be successful in life. Wen their is a stumbling block it means it will not help you and instead it will bring you back down and not help you be successful.
