- There is a better way to live. It begins when we establish order within so that order will become a visible reality in our daily round. Start seeking order within by book-ending your day with reflection first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

Your bookends can be as little as fifteen minutes long. ([Location 3165](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B001D08CQU&location=3165))
