"When Obedience Becomes Our Goal..."

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

I believe this quote means more than just obedience. I feel like it has much greater meaning than just what it speaks of. I believe what this quote means is that when we need to obey something in order for, let's say money, it doesn't bother you to obey, instead it gives you happiness or excitement. Most of the time obeying is an irritating thing to do. But, when we are put under condition where obeying will end up benefiting you, we see it as  anything, but obeying. We might classify it as "making money" or "warming up" because we are only doing it for a certain reason, because it becomes our goal, our priority. For example, working. People don't enjoy work very much, but when they get older, they realize that working will make them money. Once they get the mentality, that the more they work the more money they'll make, they start enjoying work much much more. That's why, not just obedience, when anything becomes our goal, we do it with that much more pleasure and determination.
