I have discovered a formula for success. Success with any goal you want to achieve, in any field, whether large or small. The formula is: intuition + inspiration + initiative = innovation. I call it the 4
i's.
Innovation can actually be the beginning or the end. You can start the process knowing you need to innovate, knowing what solution you want, but needing the steps to get there. Or you can start the process by listening to your intuition, not knowing where it is leading you and following the formula to achieve innovation as an end result. Only it's not really the end. It actually is a beginning, because once you innovate, that will lead to new projects, new inspirations and you will continue. So it is a moving, breathing process that actually never has to stop.
This book is a compilation of quotes relating to each phase of the 4i's. Some are from others, with my comments, some are mine.
This book is not meant to be read through at one or even several sittings. Ideally, read just one quote a day. Reflect on it. Apply it to yourself, even if it means changing some of the words to fit your particular situation. By the time you are finished reading all the quotes it is my wish that you will be more in tune with how to apply the 4i’s in your life and therefore closer to taking steps forward towards your success.

INTUITION
Intuition
Do you follow your intuition? Step
one: be aware of it. Step two:
don't fight it!
3

intuition and
femininity. Used
properly, the

any man I've ever
met. Farrah Fawcett

their intuition with a bit
of practice!

myself just by
listening to other
people and using my
own intuition. Brian
May

can really go places!

I allow my intuition to
lead my path. Manuel Puig
Life can be an adventure
this way! As Steve Jobs said:

looking forward; you can
only connect them looking
backwards."
7
I can tell you that
when I have to decide
whether or not to go
ahead with a new
venture, I have often

my best guide. Richard
Branson
It really pays to ―check in‖
before making important
decisions.

along nicely. Kim Basinger
When you don’t listen to
your intuition you find
yourself in trouble.
9
You can use your
intuition in every
aspect of your life,
whether you are male
or female. Everyone
has it, but only some
use it. It can be
developed. Once you
are used to using it
you will wonder how
you ever managed
without it!
Put it to the test! You
won’t regret it.
10
I shut my eyes in order
to see. Paul Gauguin
How often do you stop,

your inner eye? Do it daily
& stay inspired!

Cease trying to work
everything out with
your minds. It will get
you nowhere. Live by
intuition and

whole life be

using the right brain, more
creativity to solve problems.

something — your
gut, destiny, life,

the difference in my
life. Steve Jobs
When someone often
comes up with great ideas
and makes good decisions,
chances are they are using
their intuition whether
they realize it or not.
14
You cannot breathe
deeply and worry at
the same time.
Breathe. Let the worry
go. Breathe. Allow the
love and intuition in.
Sonia Choquette

your mind and spirit. They
need to work in unison.
15
All great men are
gifted with intuition.
They know without
reasoning or analysis,
what they need to
know. Alexis Carrel
And many of them have
given the credit to their
intuition—not their
intellect.
16
INSPIRATION
It doesn’t have to be just a
fleeting feeling; It can be a way of
life.
17
You have the capacity
to inspire & be
inspired! You were
not born as some
kind of blank page
waiting for the world
to stamp its imprint
on you. You showed
up in this life as a
highly individuated
soul, with a specific
destiny to fulfill. Nick
Williams
Seize the day! Carpe
Diem.
18
Motivation is what
happens when you take
hold of an idea.
Inspiration is what
happens when an idea
takes hold of you.

admire a bit of nature: the
clouds, some flowers. Get
inspired!
19
We tend to forget
that happiness
doesn't come as a
result of getting
something we don't
have, but rather of
recognizing and
appreciating what
we do have. Frederick
Keonig
If you scoff at a slice of
bread because your eye is
on the loaf, you’re not
likely to ever be happy
and satiated.
20
One joy scatters a
hundred griefs.
Chinese Proverb
Loss of a loved one is an
opportunity to reflect upon
the time and the memories
you were afforded; it’s not a
license to spend eternity in
misery.
21
The essence of
philosophy is that a
man should so live
that his happiness
shall depend as little
as possible on
external things.
Epictetus
Many people who are
monetarily wealthy are
also miserable. There are
many more that are happy
though they straddle the
line of poverty.
22
For every minute you
are angry, you lose
sixty seconds of
happiness.
Do any of us really have
spare moments to spend
being anything but happy?
23
Inspiration and
genius--one and the
same. Victor Hugo
You can be a genius if you
are inspired enough!
24

times. You might have
it 30 minutes, or 30
days, but when you
have it 30 years, you
find success in life.
Start with 30 minutes and
go on from there!
25
Enthusiasm is
excitement with
inspiration,
motivation, and a
pinch of creativity. Bo
Bennett.

full. Anything can
happen, and not only in
your dreams!
Stay positive and believe!

Live and work
inspired, not
perspired.
We all have to work hard,
but at times it should just
―flow‖. That’s inspiration.

The worst bankrupt in
the world is the person
who has lost his
inspiration and passion
for life. Let him lose
everything but
inspiration & he will
come through again to
success.
It’s not how many times you
fall, that counts, it’s the fact
that you get up again.
29
What this New Day
brings to you will
depend a great deal
on what you are
bringing to the New
Day. Why not try to
bring inspiration and
love and see what
you get back?
If you start each day with
a short meditation it will
go smoother.
30
A blind person asked
St. Anthony: "Can
there be anything
worse than losing eye
sight?" He replied:
"Yes, losing your
vision!"
Do you really see? Or are
you just looking?
31
Today is the first day
of the rest of your
life!
Live like you believe that
and you will find wonders
to behold.
32
Initiative
Without doing, without action, all
opportunities are lost.
33
One thing we will
never get back again
is time. Once it’s
gone, it will never
return. So take
initiative while you
can and use the time
well.
Watch out for the
roadblocks to initiative and
keep moving forward.
34
I would rather regret
the things I have done
than the things I have
not. Lucille Ball
Don’t give yourself the
opportunity to look back
with regrets.
35
You will pass this way
but once.
Make the most of it and
live a life of no regrets.
36
A good plan, executed
now, is better than a
perfect plan next
week. General George S.
Patton, Jr.
Perfection is one of the
roadblocks to initiative.
37
Remember, people
will judge you by your
actions, not your
intentions. You may
have a heart of gold -
but so does a
hardboiled egg.
―I thought about getting
you a present,‖ will never
be a substitute for actually
doing it.
38
The sign on the door
of opportunity says
"Push"!
You can’t always wait for
someone to beckon you in.
39
You miss 100% of the
shots you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
If a miss is as good as a
mile, a no show is like
falling into the ditch.
40
Take time to
deliberate; but when
the time for action
arrives, stop thinking
and go in. Napoleon
Bonaparte
You don’t have to take
action blindly—but act you
must if anything is to ever
be accomplished.
41
It is not only what we
do, but also what we
do not do, for which
we are accountable.
Moliere
Stand up, get going and be
counted!
42
Great acts are made
up of small deeds. Lao
Tzu
You can start off with baby
steps and gradually increase
your pace.
43
Do not lie in a ditch,
and say God help me;
use the lawful tools
He hath lent thee.
English Proverb
You have to take action,
put feet to your prayers,
works to your faith, get up
and go!
44
There comes a moment
when you have to stop
revving up the car and
shove it into gear. David
Mahoney.
If you are always waiting for
the perfect moment to act,
you probably never will.
Fight your resistance and
get going!
45
Success seems to be
connected with
action. Successful
people keep moving.
They make mistakes,
but don't quit. Conrad
Hilton, Hilton Hotels
Successful people didn’t
get that way by doing
nothing. Many of them
made terrible mistakes but
didn’t stop until they
succeeded.
46
Done is better than
perfect.
Donna Kozik
You can always go back and
fill in the details later. Don’t
allow your quest for
perfection to paralyze you
from taking action.
47
A man who has to be
convinced to act
before he acts is not
a man of action. You
must act as you
breathe. Georges
Clemmanceau
Mum's know that. When
they need new strategy to
get their toddler to eat
their greens they need to
take ACTION or else
they will be at the table all
night!
48
The right man is the
one who seizes the
moment. Johann Wolfgang
von Goethe.
One thing you will never get
back again is time. Once
time is gone, it will never
return again.
49
A man would do
nothing if he waited
until he could do it so
well that no one could
find fault. John Henry
Newman
A job done well is worth
more than a perfect plan.
50
To escape criticism, do
nothing, say nothing, be
nothing. Elbert Hubbard
We are own worst critics.
Fear of criticism masquerades
as perfectionism and yet it’s
not likely someone else is
going to think less of you
than what you think of
yourself.
51
Don't fall victim to
what I call the ready-
aim-aim-aim-aim
syndrome. You must
be willing to fire. T.
Boone Pickens.
If you are overly
concerned about what
others might think, or if
you might fail, you won't
progress. You must be
willing to step out and try.
If you fall down, well, you
can always get up and try
again!
52
Innovation
It is better to shift one's plan late
in life than to run around in
circles with the wrong plan.
53
You are never too old
to set another goal or
to dream a new
dream. C.S. Lewis
One who has no dreams
left must be dead.
54
Just because you did it
that way yesterday,
doesn't mean you have
to do it that way today!
If you can find some easier,
quicker, shorter, better,
faster way to do it, do it! Be
open to change.
55
If you don't like the
way things are,
change 'm!
Moaning about how
things are never changes
then. It just loses friends.
56
If at first the idea is
not absurd, then
there will be no hope
for it. Einstein
Step out and try
something crazy!
57
There are many who
failed & made
mistakes, who
showed promise &
potential, but were
disappointed over &
over again, until,
through the strength
to persevere that
was ignited in part by
those who believed in
them, they
succeeded.
Encourage & stand by
those you care for.
58
If you always do what
you always did, you will
always get what you
always got. Einstein.
Is that what you want? Same
old, same old? Or are you
ready to step out and be
innovative-dare to be
different!
59
When all think alike,
then no one is
thinking. Walter Lippman.
Those that make news are
the ones who dare to do
something different and
stick their heads above the
crowds. Don't be afraid of
an original idea, just
because it hasn't been
done before!
60
Doing the same thing
over and over, yet
expecting different
results is the
definition of crazy.
Step out of your comfort
zone and try something
new!
61
A chess player makes
the best moves
because they are
based on what he
wants the board to
look like 10-20
moves in the future.

the future and mapping
out his strategy. Some
things take time until you
start getting results.

that someone tried.
Don't worry about mistakes.
Learn something, don't keep
making the same ones, & try
again.
63
People that stay put
& never go anywhere
& conform to what
everybody else is
doing, don’t even
raise an eyebrow;
they don’t wake you
up or cause a stir.
What about you? Are you
following your personal
journey--going where your
intuition leads you, or are
you doing what you are
told to do by others,
whether your heart agrees
or not?
64
Failure is the mother
of success. Chinese
proverb
When you fail it can be a
blessing in disguise—a
chance to really get it right
this time!
