A few weeks ago I bought this wall Decal and I’ve put it up in my bedroom – to be the first thing I see when I wake up. Soon after I started adding post-its to just note some thoughts through the days. It’s been quite fun to go back and read the wall.

On the top I’ve added the 4 L’s – Love, Laugh, Learn, Live it loud. I am looking for my 5th L – perhaps a Large Biryani. 🙂

Here are some of the notes on the post -its:

• Words must be from the heart not from the mouth
• Secrets and lies often have underlying unhappiness
• Err on the side of warmth. Warmth over competence
• Consciousness about actions: Perhaps the best way to practice deliberate practice. Be conscious of inputs and then observe the output.
• Be honest, Be vulnerable, Be silly, Be loving, Feel loved
• Going to give up? Not going to work? Will you regret this a week from now?
• It’s better to shit your pants than die of of constipation. Don’t be afraid.
• It’s funny how people put away urges – the very thing that makes life worth living. Without extreme emotions life is but a mediocre ride through the uninteresting.
• Truly care for every person who comes your way. People should leave a conversation feeling loved. There lies a great power to help each person achieve their dreams.
• Jump in and enjoy the ride
• Best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. What did you plant today?
• When something goes wrong in your life, just yell “Plot twist” and move on.
• The dichotomy between idealism and realism – Idealism only works when you have the latter.
