116: You Could Leave Life Right Now.

In this episode, Mayhew explores one of Marcus Aurelius’ most powerful Stoic teachings: “You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you think, say, and do.” Far from being morbid, this reminder is about perspective, presence, and taking ownership of the time you have. It’s a call to stop wasting energy on stress, overthinking, and procrastination, and instead focus on the things you can control - the things that actually matter.
