Memento mori. Remember that you will die. Not to depress you — to wake you up.
You act as if you have infinite time. The email can wait. The conversation can wait. And then one day, the waiting is over. Seneca: while you are postponing, life is rushing by.
Ask yourself today, not someday. Say the thing. Start the thing. Call the person. Memento mori doesn’t mean remember death. It means remember to live.
