Meditation on death

Contemplating your own death—a practice across traditions from Stoicism to Tibetan Buddhism—paradoxically clarifies what matters in life by stripping away pretense about permanence. Done well, it's not morbid rumination but a tool for recognizing what you'd actually regret leaving undone, making it practical for anyone trying to live with intention rather than drift.
