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 
Obedience helps build us up. When we strive for obedience we'll stop getting irritated and it'll be something we're used to and what we're striving for. It won't be an obstacle or stumbling block, its a building block meaning it'll help us become a better person and obedience is something that'll help us go through life and grow. Obedience will be part of who we are if we make it a goal and reach it.

"Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy." 

David Bednar 

For David the key to becoming, being, and remaining happy is obedience. Which means paying attention and always following directions. I guess he is really happy with life right now because he is always obedient. Always doing the right thing sure always makes us happy because we know we're doing the right thing. Perhaps being obedient is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy but i think finding yourself and knowing who you are is also central to becoming, being, and remaining happy. Also having freedom and not letting no one tell you how to be or how to dress because it's you and not them, and that your freedom. 

“Obedience sums up our entire duty”

Hosea Ballou

What i think Hosea is trying to say in this quote is that our responsibilities are followed by obedience and doing our duties. I think one of our main duties is being obedient itself. That’s our greatest duty being obedient and respecting people around you. The duty we need to finish everyday is being obedient, it sums it all up.

" The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."

Boyd K. Packer

What this quote means to me is that the more we follow the rules and do what we're suppose to do the more liberty we'll have to do the things we want to do. When we're obedient and listen it makes us a better person and good things will come. For example, if a little kid wants to play outside or go somewhere but their mother says they have to do something first in order to do that, then they do it and they have the freedom to go outside and play or go somewhere. So if we're more obedient then we'll have freedom to do things.
