Just because you don’t name the direction, doesn’t mean that you aren’t going in one…

SYI was created to encourage and inspire people to say, “yes,” to taking control and owning the direction of their lives,
both personally and professionally, through workshops/training and coaching.

“Little by little, one travels far.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
She said that she didn’t feel like she was making progress. She swore that nothing had changed, and she had been doing nothing…
not one single thing to make her life more of what she wanted.

Living all of you…

it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die—
whether it is our spirit,
our creativity,
or our glorious uniqueness.”
Gilda Radner
Life continuously challenges us to make choices,
and still find a sense of balance.
Sometimes it feels like managing all of the parts of life is a graceful [...]

The Answers

“As long as one keeps searching, the answers come.”
Joan Baez
Sometimes we can be impatient.
We want what we want…now.
We don’t want to work at it.
We don’t want to wait for it.
We want to know the answers.
We want to have the results.
We want every dream to come true…
every day.
While it is important to believe that we [...]

But, the more you seek opportunity,

When you love,
with this kind of love,
you love forever.
Through all of it…
the unexpected,

Smile…

“It is impossible
not to feel good about yourself
if you make someone smile.”
Enzo D’Alimonte
Today, instead of thinking about the “what” (what you have to do…what is overdue…what should be done and what you haven’t done) spend some time thinking about the “who.”

Who would love to hear [...]

Do you just love to be surprised when you ride the elevator?
Do you anxiously wait and see what buttons will be pushed by other riders?
Do you just get off at whatever floor the elevator stops at?

Absolutely not.
You enter an elevator because you want to go somewhere, and you [...]

“The problem in my life and other people’s lives is not
the absence of knowing what to do,
but the absence of doing it.”
Peter Drucker
What if there is no magic potion to success?
What if there is no secret society, where the successful gather to revel in the glory of their achievements?
