“To live each day as though one’s last, never flustered, never apathetic, never attitudinizing — here is perfection of character.”
– Marcus Aurelius, Meditation 7.69
‘Memento Mori’, which translates to ‘You could leave life right now’ or simply put, “remember that you will die” has been causing the spotlight effect on me since a tragic demise of my grand mother.
And, I’ve written/ mentioned plenty on the title already.
Yes, ‘Memento Mori’ gracefully, gently, … humbly reminds me of my beautiful, ephemeral role in this life and duly nudges me to celebrate slash appreciate every bits and pieces of joy I can find here-and-there as I walk with time and tides.
Memento Mori keeps me grounded and helps me conduct as if — I am important but not important at all.
Memento Mori helps me deal with daily-stress anchors that life indiscriminately throws at all of us. Trust me, acknowledging and accepting our mortality has enough strength and wisdom to save our ass from any kinds of anxiety catalysts. Any!
Memento Mori is a super power spell !
Namaste.
