Memento Mori: A Stoics Journal of Reflection

By David J. Acuff

Some may think that the thought of death and the afterlife is one of gloom and doom. Others may think that it is inherently morbid. Stoics, on the other hand, think that the thought of death can be inspiring to push one forward in their pursuits. Up until recent times, the concept of death was a stimulus to live a life of virtue, meaning, and purpose. Memento Mori is translated from the Latin to mean: "remember you will die" or "remember death". This term was used by the great stoics of old and can still be used today in our thought process. How are you going to leave a legacy? What are we doing to make a lasting positive impact for our friends and family, our local community and society as a whole? Memento Mori is about reflection upon the things that will help us bring about a transformation within ourselves for the betterment of those around us. It is not morbid or used to glorify death but it is used to stir us to action before it is too late. This journal will help you along the journey. It includes images of Memento Mori art and quotes from the great stoics to be used during your quiet reflection. On the opposite page from the art is where you compose your thoughts and plans in written form to press on towards your goals.
