Living Example
Example
A short Ma’at meditation on example, truth, and the discipline of right living.
Do not demand of others what you refuse to do yourself.
Rule yourself before you rule anyone else.
An unruly house cannot lead a village, just as an undisciplined person cannot guide others.
Lead by example, not by force.
If you want your children or students to be virtuous, show them virtue in your own life.
Correct your own faults before pointing out your neighbor’s.
People are persuaded more by a life of honor than by a hundred loud proclamations.
Be to others a living model of Ma’at.
In your actions, let others see truth and balance, and they will be inspired to follow.
