After graduating from college, I pursued my dream of becoming a teacher and decided to take a state licensing exam. For about three months I reviewed at a review center so that I could easily pass. During the night before my exams, it was my best friend’s birthday and I should go since she insists a lot, but then my mother told me to come home early since I need to have a good rest before taking exams. Before I left I promised myself to come home early but as the night went on the fun couldn’t stop and I myself decided to go home late. So I went home at 3 am drunk and tired, the next day I woke up at 6 feeling bad and prepared for exams. When doing the test I felt sleepy and I did not concentrate well. When the results were announced, I learned two things that have made a big difference in my life. First, I learned that I failed the tests and second, I realized how important it is to be obedient.

We all know that rules are imposed on us to achieve order and organization in every society. Therefore, it is our responsibility to follow the different rules that surround us. But the question is do we follow the rules? Are we obedient enough to fulfill our responsibility? Does it seem improper to follow the rules? Are we willing to follow the rules for the sake of peace and order?

There really are certain times in our lives when we just don’t want to follow the rules. We just want things to go our way. Sometimes we want to do things the way we have planned. But then again, let’s face reality, life is not how we want it, but we can still make the most of it. There are times when we just have to follow the rules and regulations for our own good and benefit.

The value of obedience can definitely guide our way to success. Through obedience we learn the different values ​​that accompany it, such as respect, discipline and decorum. Obedience teaches us to always be correct with our actions and words. Furthermore, it leads us to the right and proper way of living. With obedience, we can have peace of mind, satisfaction, or contentment.

Surely, there are many approaches for us to express our obedience to others and to society. A basic example is when we abide by the rules of our community.

Another is when we follow God’s teachings like the different Christian values ​​and the Ten Commandments. By simply following the rules in our own homes, we already practice the value of obedience. Through obedience we grow as people and become more mature.

As the line says, “Obedience is the mother of success and is linked to security”, we are told that with it we are safe and it can definitely guide us towards prosperity or success. Also, it is very easy to be obedient, we just need to have the will to do it. It also helps to promote a peaceful and harmonious society, in which there is respect and unity between us. God calls us to be obedient to his will so that we can reach eternal life. Obedience not only guides us to be better people, but through it we can earn respect.
