In this episode of Stoic Echoes, we examine one of Marcus Aurelius’ most striking reflections: “You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.”
How would you live if you truly embraced the impermanence of life? This episode explores the idea of Memento Mori—the Stoic practice of remembering our mortality—not as a source of fear, but as a guide to living with urgency, purpose, and integrity. Through historical and modern examples, we discuss how this mindset can help us focus on what truly matters, avoid trivial distractions, and make each moment count. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of living with the awareness that tomorrow is never guaranteed.
