This is a short episode on Marcus Aurelius' comments on death and its relationship to living in the present moment. The Stoics teach that acknowledgement and recognition of death is part of our nature, our fate, our destiny. Nothing to fear, but recombining elements and returning the dust.

Whoa, acknowledgment of our own demise brings joy in the present moment if we are not dead yet.

We don't know when or how we will die, only that we will someday enter the next realm. "Memento Mori" - remember that you must die. Death is the yin to the yang of life. It's nothing to fear, but one aspect of the gift of life.

If we don't know how much time we have or control when that moment comes, let's seize the day. Don't let external things over which you no control disturb your enjoyment of the gift of today. Focus on what you can control and live our your life's purpose.

Fulfill your dharma, your passion skill. And match it to service with the time that we have on the beautiful earth.

Live out your destiny now.

We only have so much time.

Carpe Diem!!
