Success Goes a Long Way

I recently had some success in achieving a goal with my Avon sales and realize now that a little success goes a long way in relieving depression.   Success also helps promote a good sense self esteem which is something most of us can use on a regular basis. 

Although tackling new projects and taking new risks can cause us a good deal of stress, it can also eventually give us a lot of rewards.   Success can greatly improve our general mental health and make us more pleasant to be around.   Don't get me wrong........I'm usually a very pleasant person, although I suffer from depression.  

Yesterday I attended my Avon District Sales Meeting and felt reassured about my future with Avon.  I received recognition for my accomplishments and all of us received the assurance that Avon will not be laying off representatives.   In this troubled economy that was a good thing to hear.  

I'm very pleased that I was able to make myself get out there and start selling Avon two years ago.  It was a risk that paid off in many ways......especially because it got me out of the house and interacting with people again.   If we can make ourselves try new things, the success we achieve will go a long way in helping us cope with depression.
