JIM BRATTON STOIC MINUTE 09 — MORTALITY

In this episode of Stoic Minute, Jim Bratton reflects on the Stoic reminder that mortality is not meant to frighten us, but to wake us up. Marcus Aurelius returns again and again to the shortness of life. Not as gloom, but as clarity. When we remember that time is limited, small irritations shrink, priorities sharpen, and the present becomes more valuable. A short Stoic reflection on mortality, perspective, and living with greater attention while we still have time.
