a sense of urgency, death, fear, life, motivation

Will you sink or swim?
The prospect of death becomes
a valiant teacher.

The Trenches

battle tested, experience, in the thick of it, leadership, tried and true

I’m in the trenches…
gathering intel’ and skill
like good leaders do.

Life in the trenches…
on the frontline in the thick
of things, one learns best.

I’m in the trenches…
where the people keep me sharp,
where I hear their cries.

Life in the trenches…
will most certainly teach you
what matters the most.

Listen… the trenches
will teach you more than any
book or data sheet.

–@StevieStreets #leadership | from THE LIFE & LESSONS COLLECTION: The Trenches I – V

a thin line between love and hate, love, matters of the heart, my kind of crazy, why do fools fall in love?

She was so crazy…
yet still, I adored her so.
How crazy am I?!

signs of the winter

It is cold outside…
the wind is disrespectful;
it said “F’ your coat!”
