I, Muhammad Yaqoob, am the author of Gray and Old blog – live in a
blogging community representing a life much less restricted. I'm
passionate about inspiring, motivating, and supporting others to do the
work they want to do in order to live the life they want to live. I am
blogger, brand-expert, writer, speaker, thinker, creator, and a doer.
I brought these inspirational pearls to coordinate the Inconvenience of
Change to illustrate two primary things:
(1) the power of community and
(2) the impact one person can have on many.
I seek to inspire you just as much as you all, day in and day out, continue

Whether we’re talking about Social Media &entrepreneurship or religion
and philosophy, there is something that each of us can learn from one
another.
I present this E-Book to you as a New Year Gift.

Remember, as small as your role in all of this may seem – it only takes
one person, one idea, to spark a revolution.
Things to think about (and do) this year 2013
Create Art:
Skills are cheap. Creativity is priceless.
Be Generous: The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
Shepard Fairey made a poster of Barack Obama. The Internet helped it spread. The poster connected one supporter to another and became an icon, a freely shared ID badge. It doesn’t matter that Fairey didn’t make a penny selling the image. What matters is that he connected, and that connection gave his art leverage. He’ll never need to look for work or revenue again. It will hunt him back. We grew up isolated. Now we are connected. We grew up in a small circle of family and co-workers. Now, we earn the right to interact with just about anyone in the world we want to. I think this changes everything… if we let it. [Seth Godin]
Shepard Fairey
Live your children’s’ their childhood.
Follow your Heart: Your feet will lead you to where your heart is.
CONNECT – FACEBOOK SERIOUSLY! Leverage the godforsaken internet! It's just as much a workplace as
any big corporation. If you do it right. [Ashley Ambirge]
LEARN: You have to WANT to learn. Nothing ever
goes away until it teaches us what we need
to know [Pema Chodron]
FIT IN: Forget about the “Change”, FIT IN. Changing is not possible. Fitting is.
[Ashley Ambirge]
Avoid “Not My Job” These 3 words can kill the entire organization [Seth Godin]
UNEMPLOYMENT: Take unemployment as a full-time job in finding your fit. [Emily Belden]
STOP ACTING SO SMALL: You are the universe in divine motion. [Rumi]
FLY HIGH: A soul in tension - that's learning to fly - condition grounded but determined to try.
[Pink Floyd]
BE FEARLESS:
Do not to sweeten it up,
smooth it over,
take a pill,
or distract yourself,
as by all means it makes
go away.
Stay and face the fear.
Just show your teeth and
strike the fear.
[Pema Chodron]
BE COMPASSIONATE:
You need power only to do something harmful. Otherwise love
is enough, compassion is enough. [Rumi]
UNDERSTANDING: If you understand, and you show that you understand,
the situation will change. I trust it so.
Nothing:
The sweetness of doing absolutely nothing.
LIFE HERE NOW: Bring your tomorrow here now, because tomorrow may not come! The Future is NOW!
Tomorrow never dies
ACCEPT YOUR PAIN: And if you accept your pain, it cannot hurt
you anymore.
LET IT GO: You're young
and
the world is yours.
Don't give in to
nostalgia.
Let it go,
If you let go a little,
you will have a little
peace.
Its years ago,
Now,
Let it all go.
EGO:
Just take your ego for a walk.
SAIL AWAY: The most dangerous place is in your
safety zone - Sail away from your safe
harbor. [Robin Sharma]
You are a
Hero too…
Don’t let anyone dare
to stamp out the artist
that lives within you.
LAUGH A TON: One big laughter and you are already home.
[Osho]
TAKE A FRESH GRIP: -
Start small - Start now - Start where
you are - Venture further - Go slow -
Live a little - Laugh a ton - Simplify - Be
generous - Make Art - Open wide - Re-
prioritize - Blow off the past - Keep on
talking - Dream on......
SILENCE: Silence is pure; it draws people together
because only those who are comfortable with
each other, can sit without speaking.
MARKETING: Let's people talk about you. [Veena Malik]
DARE TO DISCOVER:
Blaze a new trail, cross a continent - Go to China
BE STILL AND
KNOW:
In the midst of movement and
chaos, keep stillness inside of
you.
BE STILL AND KNOW is one of
the most fundamental sutras
of the inner alchemy.
But by being still is not meant
that you have to force stillness
upon yourself.
[Osho]
KNOW YOUR STYLE:
and if at first you don't succeed, failure may
be your STYLE
[Quentin Crisp]
COURAGE: You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of INSANE
COURAGE. Just literally twenty seconds of - just embarrassing
bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.
RUN RABBIT
RUN: Far far away
people heard him say
there will come a day
I will find a way
something will be done
run rabbit run
until your muscles get
burn.
BURN: So let the fire within me burn - You know something I should learn
[Dr A. Bettani]
NAVIGATE: Do it by heart, bypass the common sense,
navigate your day, and try it another way.
SHENPA:
Its a Tibetan word that roughly means
"scratching the itch."
I think of it as a spiral of pain, something
that is triggered by a small event and
immediately takes you totally off the
ranch.
A small itch gets scratched, which makes it
itch more, so you scratch more and more
until you're literally in pain.
[Seth Godin]
AFFECTIONS:
If your children do not receive proper care, time
and affection, in later life they will often find it
hard to love others.
LUCK: Most people with a big idea, great talent and/or something to say don’t get lucky at first.
Or second. Or even third. It’s so easy to conclude that if you’re not lucky, you’re not
good. So persistence becomes an essential element of good, because without
persistence, you never get a chance to get lucky.” [Seth Godin]
FRIENDSHIP: Who you hang out with determines what you dream about and
what you collide with. And the collisions and the dreams lead to
your changes. And the changes are what you become. Change
the outcome by changing your circle.
FOCUS: A woodpecker can tap 20 times on thousand trees and get nowhere, but stay
busy. Or he can tap 20 thousand times on one tree and get dinner.
SMALL DAILY
IMPROVEMENTS: Over time it creates stunning results. Develop one-proficiency a year.
IGNORANCE:
Screaming , shouting , yelling , roaring
, doesn’t’ help increment your strength.
Ignorance is the real strength.
NOWNESS: This very moment is so fresh
and unique and a perfect
teacher, this very moment goes
with you where ever you go.
Enjoy this now-ness, is-
ness…this-ness, such-
ness….anything that happens,
happens, accept it with
absolute gratitude.
[Osho]
AGE:
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
LIEF:
Life shouldn’t be a journey
to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely
in an attractive and well-
preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways,
chocolate in one hand,
award in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally
worn out and screaming,
‘WOO HOO what a ride!’”
[Ash Ambirge]
FUN:
Have some fun, why not it works
Achieve selflessness
NOW ENJOY:
