Memento mori. Latin for "remember that you will die." This isn't morbid—it's clarifying.
In this episode, we explore why the Stoics kept skulls on their desks, Samurai meditated on death every morning, and Steve Jobs called mortality awareness his most important decision-making tool. Death isn't the enemy. Wasted life is.
Key topics:
Today's Practice: Imagine you have one year left. What would you stop doing? What would you start? Who would you call? Now ask: why aren't you living that way today?
Sources: Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Steve Jobs
Master the mind. Your life will follow.
