"Memento Mori" is a Latin phrase meaning ‘remember you must die.’
The painting on my pinned tweet is related to the phrase, being that it includes symbols that remind us of our mortality: the skull, flower, and hourglass.

...., the idea that you’re going to die and that life is short is only depressing if you’re thinking about it wrong.
If you’re thinking about it right it should give you a sense of priority.

It should even give you a sense of meaning; it should let you know what’s important, what you’re trying to do while you’re here on this planet.

I keep that image pinned on the top of my profile to remind myself to make the most of the time I’ve been given. Shit, I meditate on death lol.
If you view death in the same light, or are looking to change your perspective on the concept, start by cherishing those you love and appreciating the things that give you clarity. Don’t spend time talking down on people, or indulging in the trivial and vain.
Most importantly, use death to motivate you.
Do what you’ve always wanted to do. Take those risks you’ve been contemplating taking. Solidify your legacy in the game of life.
