Let Mortality Guide Your Speech
- Remember you could die at any moment and let that shape what you do and say today.
- Use your mortality as a filter to avoid saying things you'll regret when time runs out.

- Marcus frames gods as natural forces rather than personified beings in many meditations.
- That lets his providence language point toward nature and structure, not magic.
Accept Death To Value Time
- Whether you believe in gods or not, stop fearing death and accept its inevitability.
- Let that acceptance increase the value you place on present time and drive purposeful action.
