Reply to comment by mangomochamuffin in [Image] Everyday, when closing my office door, I get a motivation boost. by Thompsonss

I just googled Memento Mori, it’s a Latin phrase that means ‘Remember, you have to die’. Maybe the OP was referring to this statement as a source of motivation to do what’s needed till we have time??

I think it’s more commonly translated to “everybody dies” OP is motivating themselves by reminding them that the clock is ticking.

Right? Once you find out you’re immortal death just becomes what it is, a 4D construct that stops your resonance with 3D realities you’re no longer compatible with. There is no ticking time bomb to fear, it was all in your head.

In the classical context, it was a slave whispering in the ear of the victorious general "remember, you are mortal." General idea, don't let the parade go to you head.
