“And so it is with our Savior, who, though sinless, ‘received not of the fulness at first, but continued from grace to grace, until he received a fulness.’ (Doctrine and Covenants 93:13). It is He who knows when a sparrow falls that is likewise focused on the minute as well as the momentous moments in our lives and who is ready right now to assist you in whatever your 1 percent quest is coming out of this conference.”
-Michael A. Dunn
“For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have.”
-2 Nephi 28:30
“Will little adjustments work that ‘mighty change’ that you desire? Properly implemented, I’m 99 percent certain they will! But the one caveat with this approach is that for small gains to aggregate, there must be a consistent, day-in and day-out effort. And although we won’t likely be perfect, we must be determined to mirror our persistence with patience. Do that, and the sweet rewards of increased righteousness will bring you the joy and peace you seek.”
-Michael A. Dunn
“I invite you to examine your life and see what’s stagnated or slowed you on the covenant pathway. Then look broader. Seek modest but makeable fixes in your life that might result in the sweet joy of being just a little better.”
-Michael A. Dunn
“Every effort to change we make—no matter how tiny it seems to us—just might make the biggest difference in our lives…Truly, it is by small, simple, and, yes, even just 1 percent things that great things can be brought to pass. Ultimate victory is 100 percent certain, ‘after all we can do,’ (2 Nephi 25:23) through the might, merits, and mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
-Michael A. Dunn
HANDS-ON LEARNERS: Go on a bike ride (or walk) while listening to this talk.
Just one percent better each day!
That is something we can all strive to do–make easy, simple adjustments to become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I love the concept of choosing one thing. I know in my life when I feel like I need to make a lot of changes, I get overwhelmed and end up not doing anything at all. I love choosing one thing–that is something I can do, something I can focus on, and something I can remember.
It’s just little steps forward to improve myself –just one percent better each day will make for a mighty change in a few weeks, a few months and a few years.
Focus on the one percent better!
