James E. Faust

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block." This quote means that you will have to struggle in the beginning in order to achieve simplicity for the future. You might choose the wrong in the beginning and choose the wrong. Once you get enough experience, you will start choosing the right all the time, making you a building block instead of a stumbling one. When obedience is what we strive for, it will become simple to us overtime. An example of this can be studying. Studying everyday can be stressful. Playing games instead of studying will make you a stumbling block. If you make studying your goal then you will get used to it will eventually become a habit. This will make studying easy and turning you or your habits into building blocks.
