Who wants to think about death?
In his Meditations-essentially his own private journal-Marcus Aurelius wrote that “You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.” That was a personal reminder to continue living a life of virtue NOW, and not wait.
Epictetus, urged his students: “Keep death and exile before your eyes each day, along with everything that seems terrible- by doing so, you’ll never have a base thought nor will you have excessive desire.” Use those reminders and meditate on them daily-let them be the building blocks of living your life to the fullest and not wasting a second.
Death doesn’t make life pointless but rather purposeful. And fortunately, we don’t have to nearly die to tap into this. A simple reminder can bring us closer to living the life we want.
