“Remember you will die” isn't morbid to the Stoics — it's a tool. Seneca argued the problem was never that life is short, but that we spend it as if it were endless. This is the same math he was pointing at, just counted out in Mondays.
It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. Seneca, On the Shortness of Life
You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think. Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
