Death Meditation (Memento Mori)

Confront the inevitability of death to appreciate the present moment. Live each day to the fullest with purpose and integrity.

Remember You Must Die

Set aside time for a daily reflection on death. Meditate on the reality that your life is finite and will come to an end. Visualize your own passing. Consider the fragility of life and the impermanence of all things. Reflect on how this awareness changes your perspective on your goals, relationships, and values. Death is a reality, as a testament to your loved one, so you might as well live to your fullest. How would you treat others in the end, and in life as a whole? Marcus Aurelius, "You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think." By remembering what you cherish most, how can living with a purpose help you achieve your new lifestyle?
