The Daily Discipline from Project MNDST

Remember you will die—the ancient meditation that transforms how you live, borrowed from Stoics, Samurai, and Steve Jobs.

Show Notes

Memento mori. Latin for "remember that you will die." This isn't morbid—it's clarifying.

In this episode, we explore why the Stoics kept skulls on their desks, Samurai meditated on death every morning, and Steve Jobs called mortality awareness his most important decision-making tool. Death isn't the enemy. Wasted life is.

Key topics:

  • Memento mori and why remembering death is the secret to living fully
  • Steve Jobs on how mortality clarifies what truly matters
  • Seneca's warning about wasting the time we have
  • How death awareness creates purpose, not anxiety

Today's Practice: Imagine you have one year left. What would you stop doing? What would you start? Who would you call? Now ask: why aren't you living that way today?
