We have only this moment; diminish your fear of death and learn to embrace the present.

Memento mori-Latin for "remember you will die"-is often paired with memento vivere-"remember to live."

These thirty-six cards are daily affirmations and reminders that we do not have control over our fate, and they are meant as life-affirming messages that we must seize the day and live each moment to its fullest. We could die today, tomorrow, or eighty years from now-it's not up to us. The only thing we can be sure of is that it will happen. When we accept this fact, then we can fully embrace the moment we are in. We shouldn't put things off until tomorrow because we may not have tomorrow. The memento mori is a regular reminder of this fact.

Contemplating memento mori allows us to love those around us more deeply, enjoy our work and daily activities more fully, see beauty in all things, and embrace fearlessness as we encounter the unknown. The memento mori helps us diminish our fear of death and learn to love all things that fate brings.
