I am about halfway through Jordan Peterson's book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. Rule 6 really resonated with me:

Set Your House in Perfect Order Before You Criticize the World.

I have seriously violated this rule at various times in my life. I share the consequences of failing to follow the rule; identify the ways Stoicism helped improve this area and outline my ongoing efforts to put this rule into practice.

Life is a practice. There is no end outcome where we can rest on having arrived. Everything requires ongoing diligence, attention and self-examination when we fall short.

Peterson's book helps us to live life as it is. Grateful that he put this out into the world.
