February: On Life

February 6

Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from the graphic novel Samurai Grandpa, by Eastin DeVerna (me!) and Shawn Daley.

Memento mori. 

That's the Stoic practice of reminding yourself each and every day that you will die. 

It is a great practice to fall into as it can help humble you and remind you not to waste your time while you are here. 

But you must be careful of falling into the trap of becoming obsessed with death or fearing it. 

And while this is important, equally important is the practice of reminding yourself each and every day that you are alive.

So remember you must die, but don't forget to live.

Memento vivere.
