Why the Stoics Thought About Death Every Single Day

In ancient Rome, a servant whispered four words into a victorious general's ear: "Remember, you will die." It sounds cruel — but the Stoics called it a gift. In this video we unpack memento mori, the daily habit Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus used not to feel morbid, but to wake up, shrink their worries, and live with more courage. You'll get three simple, doable exercises: the one-line morning reminder, the last-time lens, and the deathbed question as a compass. None of them are about fear. All of them are about falling back in love with the ordinary days you've been sleepwalking through. Try one tonight and tell me in the comments what you'd stop wasting time on.
