10:55 that quote hit me the most and then "tell me, you're scared of dying but tell me, is the kind of life you're living is any different than being dead?"

"You could leave life right now, let that determine what you do, say and think." — Marcus Aurelius

[minetime]

I am Christian, and this message still connects to me. Every time you do something, that may be the last time you do it in this world, in this present mode of being. And i think that’s something we can all agree on; whatever happens after death, it will be different than now. And you won’t experience the exact same things in the exact same way you do on earth, while being alive. There is still urgency.

Watching this as I eat my eggs and drink coffee, also fighting with the spouse. Memento Mori is something that always brings the act of eating or drinking into focus, allowing enjoyment in each bite. It can break the catatonic phase of the argument away, sweep it under the rug and allow you to sit down for a proper chat. No matter how hard of a talk it is.

I’ve watched several of his videos on Stoicism. They are great.

I needed this. Great reminder of our own mortality, and that the past and future are but concepts, all we have is the here and now. Thanks Ryan.

"As you kiss your son good night, whisper to yourself 'he may be dead in the morning'"... But wait till you're out of earshot first.

Some weighty words to shake our leaves and get us to inhale, appreciate, and absorb the greenery of each moment. Life is truly fleeting and we don't see how fleeting till we are looking back and noticing how quickly it went! Inspiring words Mr. Holiday

Ryan Rocks !, He is a blessing to humanity at a time when we most need to hear his stoic wisdom. I only wish I had learned about stoic philosophy sooner. A breath of sanity when we are surrounded by so many different versions of insanity. Thanks Ryan !

My grandfather told me at the age of 96, "Ask any 96 year old who wants to be 97?", and the answer they would all want to be 97.

He sadly passed several weeks after his 98th Birthday in 2019 - so thankfully he never met COVID, and the COVID era, and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Thanks for a reminder of Amor Fati. Great way to start the day.

God bless you Ryan Holiday, a reminder that we will die is needed for many of us needs in order to prioritize what we want to do in life.

12:29 EPICTETUS: "As you kiss your son good-night, whisper to yourself 'He May be dead in the morning' "

20:04 MARCUS AURELIUS:"Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now take what's left and live it properly"
