“Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter.
Cold or warm.
Tired or well-rested.
Despised or honored.
Dying … or busy with other assignments.Because dying, too, is one of our assignments in life. There as well: “to do what needs doing.” ~ Marcus Aurelius (Meditation)
‘Memento Mori’ medallion by Ryan Holiday lays on my work desk as I start my Work From Home Office day.
Plus, every night before I go to bed, I bring the coin with me. Play with her for a while and finally, finally tuck her underneath my pillow just before I pass out.
To me, doing this has become like a weird ritual.
To me, it’s one of the most important discovery of my life!
Sure, I’ve written in length about this Latin phrase — quite a lot really [see this]; Which simply meant,
“Remember, you will die!“
Well, here’s the cookie in the jar; this mere $26.00 metal or say my metaphorical friend at the moment with ‘Memento Mori’ etched on it — clearly, rightfully, and bravely demands;
priority,
urgency,
meaning,
and more importantly intentionality!
Namaste.
