Diligence
A short Ma’at meditation on diligence, truth, and the discipline of right living.
Perform your labor with a willing heart.
The farmer who rises before dawn reaps a bountiful harvest, while the sluggard curses an empty field.
Do your duty even when no eyes watch – Ma’at sees in secret and rewards the sincere.
To work with skill is to honor the gifts you have been given.
Do not disdain small tasks; a single brick laid each day builds a temple over years.
Diligence in humble work is better than shirking a great duty.
