Today is day 5 of the 30-Day Quotation Coach4aday Challenge. You pick one word and then pair it with a quote. My word today is SOMETIMES.

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about people who are going thru tough times. Tough times can be losing in relationships, losing out on a job search, losing a promotion, losing a spouse/best friend, or losing your self-esteem. My life as a coach and being involved in college athletics for 30 plus years exposed me to losing.

Yet SOMETIMES that losing opens a path to a whole new set of opportunities and life directions.

Turning Losing Around

Losing is grief, anger, frustration, doubt, fear of being inadequate, and disappointment. The only method that worked for me in dealing with all of these emotions was to accept I didn’t control everything in my life. That is a hard pill to swallow but I realized I could change everything just by changing my focus. When I worked on things, I controlled especially my attitude things often improved.

Sometimes It’s a Bitch

A song that sums up life and dealing with the disappointments to me is “Sometimes it’s a Bitch” written by Bon Jovi and performed by Stevie Nicks.

There is one particular verse in the song that I want to share today for the challenge.

Sometimes it’s a bitch…sometimes it’s a breeze
Sometimes love’s blind…and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it’s roses…and, sometimes it’s weeds
Sometimes it’s a bitch…sometimes it’s a breeze

You gotta take it as it comes
Sometimes it don’t come easy
