Taking Chances by Susan
My brother has been instrumental in helping me to take chances and venture outside of my comfort zone.
Two weeks ago I applied for a job as an Avon Representative. I had to meet for over an hour with the District Manager. It was all I could do to make myself do this. I had not applied for a job in over 20 years!
I was so very anxious before and during the meeting. After the meeting I was still very anxious and stressed out but I also felt something good......I felt happy because of taking a chance to improve my life.
I have been working hard at home and in my neighborhood to make a go of my new business venture. I've passed out Avon brochures, contacted all my friends, relatives and aquaintences and sorted through my first received shipment. I've also set up my new Avon Website.
I still feel a lot of stress and anxiety mixed in with the feeling of accomplishment. I worry so much about whether or not I can make a go of this, whether or not I've bitten off more than I can chew, and whether I still have enough skill and energy to keep up with all of it.
Many people may think it's silly to be so stressed about such a simple part-time job. They may not have problems with depression and don't know how difficult it is sometimes to take those steps toward taking chances.
