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

I agree with Faust that choosing to be obedient does not feel like a chore once you have been obedient enough. Trying to be obedient feels like a chore only when you refuse to do the task. Being obedient does not feel like a chore when you do the task quickly and move on to whatever you were doing. The task does not disappear, you would still have to do it so the best option is to get it over with. Doing your homework is being obedient to yourself and your teacher, the work you are choosing to ignore will still be there. When you do your work as soon as you get home you will be stress free and not have to feel like you are wasting time the rest of the day. Once you take the first step to improve, you will get better and that will be your building block. You will become more efficient at doing certain tasks like studying or washing the dishes. Being obedient towards your family shows them how responsible you are, they will show you that and you will be encouraged to do your best at even simple things. Being obedient is choosing to be the best you can be, once you realize that doing tasks that seem unnecessary to you now become ordinary tasks that you will be happy with doing.
