achieving ma’at

A strange mantra that has seemed to repeat itself for the past few days has been: “everything is as it should be.” Now, i’m usually a perfectionist, always improving, always striving for better, but somehow, some way, this phrase resonates with me. I keep hearing it everywhere so it obviously has some hidden meaning that I need to adhere to. I think it has meaning that we all need to adhere to. We need to let go of all the “could have beens, should have knowns, and would have dones.” We need to be gratefully dead to the past and take advantage of the present because it is a gift. We are, in each and every moment of our lives, exactly where we need to be to accomplish the things that only we can do. I believe Albert Einstein once said, there are two types of people in this world; one who believes that everything is a miracle, and one who believes nothing is a miracle. I don’t know about you, but I need something to believe in, and option number one sounds pretty damn palatable…Anyway, on to ma’at. Ma’at is an ancient Egyptian term used to describe a state of perfect harmony that all the ancient Egyptian kings strived to acquire during the periods in which they reigned. I’m not in Egypt, and I’m definitely not a king, but I know that we could all use a little extra serving of ma’at consciousness in our lives from time to time.
