"Memento Mori: Live Fully" captures the essence of Stoic wisdom by reminding us of life's impermanence and encouraging us to live with purpose and presence. "Memento Mori," meaning "Remember that you will die," is a Stoic practice meant to keep mortality in perspective, not as a source of fear, but as a motivation to live each day intentionally. The Stoics, like Seneca, believed that by acknowledging the brevity of life, we can focus on what truly matters—virtue, relationships, and contributing to the world.
"Live Fully" is the natural response to this reflection on mortality. Rather than becoming paralyzed by the thought of death, the Stoics urged us to embrace life fully, making the most of each moment. It encourages living with gratitude, courage, and clarity, free from distractions and trivial pursuits. Together, these two ideas form a powerful reminder: life is short, but within that time, we have the opportunity to live deeply and meaningfully.
