Faith in Christ and miracles may seem foolish, but being “fools for Christ” shows that the impossible becomes possible through His Atonement. Michael A. Dunn, a General Authority Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, delivered this devotional address on March 4, 2025.

I really really think a lot of you are going to benefit from today's spiel. Last week I started reading a book called the Feel Good Effect by Robin Downs. And it's just a little baby book, something I found at one of our department stores. It was a short read but a GREAT reminder of those mindset tools I'm talking about all the time and kind of a wake up call to let go of my perfectionism/all-or-nothing thinking. All-or-nothing thinking is like believing if you can't do something 100%, sometimes even 1000%, then you can't do it at all and there is no in between. It's thinking in extremes, absolutes and contributes that perfectionism mindset. And I don't feel like I'm that way in my business, I'm pretty flexible and give myself grace there, but as I really started reading about it, I realized I am “all or nothing” in how I treat myself and talk to myself. I'm sure you can think of instances when you've let all or nothing thinking influence you, too. So forget about that perfectionism and needing to make a night and day difference. Just tackle one thing at a time and focus on being one percent better, not 100%, or even 1000% for you overachievers. What can you do today to be a little bit better than you were yesterday? I see this a lot with spending or exercising or eating healthy. I see people expecting to quit soda cold turkey, go to the gym every day and spend like nothing for a whole month. But guys, that doesn't work! And I bet you've tried the same, so you know it doesn't work either! So today I talk about how you can rework that all-or-nothing thinking to just being one percent better. I want to leave you with one last quote by Michael A. Dunn! “Every effort we make to change, no matter how tiny it is to us, just might make the biggest difference in our lives.” Remember! We are every other week these few months of summer. Not stopping, just slowing down because hello…SUMMER! But if there is a topic you want, or an area you feel like you need more information on, please reach out to me and I'll make sure I get it in an episode.
Elder Dunn teaches that each effort to repent, no matter how small it may seem, can bring great blessings.
In this episode, we talk about things we learned from the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. This book was life-changing for us and these concepts are ones we will refer back to again and again throughout our lives. We hope we were able to shed light some of the most important nuggets from the book for anyone interested in this topic.
