Memento Mori: You Will Die

A reminder to myself from myself when I don’t feel like it.

Life is not what happened to me.

I get to choose who and what I want to be in each moment.

Not writing today?

Not doing something that’ll get me one step closer to my goal today?

Convincing myself for the umpteenth time, that I can afford to buy that time back. What’s one more day going to do in the grand scheme of things?

Memento mori- You will die.

Why am I not living my dream life right now?

5,10,15, 20 years down the line…what will my life look like if I make the decisions I am making at this very moment?

Will it bring me closer or further from my goals?

It comes down to pain:

The Pain of discipline for the person I want to be

or

The Pain of regret for not answering my call.

Do I still want this moment 5,10,15,20 years down the line, still at this very crossroads?

Those long days where you were praying for an out, living your lie.

Those days where you truly felt stuck, wishing this moment away.

It’s gone.

Think back to school, when you turned 18. What happened?

Memento mori.

Life is a series of small steps.

Own the day.

Leverage your will to this day.

Life is not a mountain peak. It’s inch by inch. Brick by brick.

It’s hard. It’s backbreaking struggles one after the other.

Get obsessed with the struggle. The process.

Get obsessed with creating.

Get obsessed with Life!

Daily routines are there to keep you balanced in the turmoils of life.

Life is ebb and flow.

I won’t always ‘feel like it’.

But I have to.

I have to protect and fight for my anchor.

The light that makes me me.

My life will not be lived accidentally.

If it’s to be…

then it’s up to me…

Memento mori.
